Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 Cups butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 4 8 Ounces (oz) packages cream cheese, packed
• 1 Cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Cup sour cream
• 4 Whole eggs
• 4 Cups apples, peeled
• 0.5 Cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 Cups pecans, chopped
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, extending the foil sheets over the sides of the dish.
2. To make the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a bowl until evenly blended. Press the mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. For the filling, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of brown sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in the sour cream. On low speed, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended. Pour the filling over the crust.
4. To prepare the topping, place the chopped apples in a bowl and toss with 0.5 cups of brown sugar, chopped pecans, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the center is almost set, about 55 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Before serving, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Use the extended aluminum foil to lift the cheesecake from the baking dish and place it on a cutting board or serving plate. Remove the foil and cut into 16 squares. Enjoy your Cinnamon Apple-Pecan Cheesecake Delight!
