Easy Apple Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 1 Graham cracker crust (9-inch pre-made crust)
• 16 oz Cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 Apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

3. 3

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Pour the cheesecake batter into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the top.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.

6. 6

   Arrange the apple slices on top of the cheesecake batter in a decorative pattern.

7. 7

   Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still has a slight jiggle.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter. Serve chilled.
