Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan, creating an even layer.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add sugar and mix until incorporated.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
Stir in sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla, and flour until just combined (don’t overmix).
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Step 3: Cook the Apples
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are softened but not mushy.
Spread evenly over the cheesecake filling.
