Our cheesecake-loving children inspired this recipe I adapted from several others. It was a hit with them because the apples make it less rich and heavy. My family eats it anytime—for breakfast or as a late-night snack—and I serve it for dessert or when company comes for coffee. —Janice White, Encampment, Wyoming

Text Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and vanilla; stir into flour mixture. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 350°.
  2. Place apples in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until tender; drain and cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Toss baked apples with cinnamon and remaining sugar. Arrange apples over cream cheese layer; drizzle with any remaining cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle with nuts. Return pan to baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Remove sides of pan. Use a sharp knife to cut. Refrigerate leftovers.
