Crust

Bourbon Caramel Cream

Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

Filling

  1. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Fold in the sliced apples.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Cheesecake

    Pour the apple filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Bourbon Caramel Cream

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bourbon Caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in butter and bourbon until smooth. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Cheesecake

    Slice the chilled cheesecake and drizzle the bourbon caramel cream over each slice before serving.
