Autumn Apple Cheesecake, a wonderful dessert to make during the autumn season or for the holidays.

Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick/2 oz./56g) butter or margarine, melted
2 packages (8 oz. each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 cups thinly peeled apple slices (preferably Granny Smith, MacIntosh, or Golden Delicious apples)
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:
Mix crumbs, 1/2 cup pecans, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 325 degrees F/160 degrees C for 10 minutes.

Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition, just until blended. Pour over crust.

Mix 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; toss with apples. Spoon apple mixture over cream cheese layer; sprinkle with 1/4 cup pecans.

Bake at 325 degrees F/160 degrees C for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Makes 12 servings.

Note: If desired, you may want to make a crust that goes up the sides of pan. Photo above shows cheesecake with bottom and side crust.

It was too good. Except, the apples didn't sink to the bottom like the cake in the picture but it was crunchy. My boyfriend loved it.
