| This cheesecake is a mix of craziness including: cheesecake, apple pie filling, crumb topping and some broiler action. |
- 2 c. graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 c. butter, melted
- 3-8 oz. cream cheese packages, softened
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/4 c. sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cans apple pie filling
- 1 c. flour
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ginger
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/4 c. butter, softened
Preheat oven to 350*. Mix crumbs and butter together. Press into the bottom of a 10 inch spring form pan. Beat cream cheese until creamy, slowly add sugar. Then add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Carefully spoon the apple pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer. Mix flour, brown sugar, spices, and softened butter in a bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle all of the topping onto the pie filling. Bake for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn your broiler on high for 2 minutes to firm up the topping. *warning* this will make the topping crunchy and hard to cut through, so you can skip this step if you want!! Turn oven off and let cheesecake rest in oven for an hour. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for another hour. Refrigerate.
