Great recipe, original Eagle Brand recipe. Add fresh ground nutmeg to batter and crust. Yum! Omit nuts for a softer crust. Very, very adaptable.

I've made ths twice, the second time by request. It is a very good cheesecake. I think the apples make it so it's not too sweet tasting.

Made it once following the recipe - absolutely delicious! Got many compliments. The next two times I just replaced the apple juice by lemon juice (once sweetened, once not) to make a lemon cheese cake. Got even more compliments for that!!
