Print Recipe

This Apple Butter Cheesecake is a delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and warm, spiced apple butter flavors, perfect for any occasion. Its rich texture and sweet-tangy notes will leave your taste buds dancing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • ½ cup of granulated sugar
  • ½ cup of brown sugar
  • 1 cup of apple butter
  • 3 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 and ½ cups of crushed graham crackers
  • ½ cup of melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and ½ cups of crushed graham crackers with ½ cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add ½ cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar, mixing until fully combined.
  6. Add in 1 cup of apple butter, 3 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. To prevent cracks, consider placing a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually to room temperature.
  11. Once cooled, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Nutrition

Keywords: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. Don’t overmix once you add the eggs to prevent cracks.
