Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups (204 g) graham cracker crumbs (12–13 full sheets, crushed)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (476 g) heavy cream
- ¾ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup (120 g) apple butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix until every crumb is coated. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
- Add Cream and Lemon Juice: Gradually add the heavy cream and lemon juice, continuing to beat for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and light.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Drop large dollops of apple butter on top and swirl with a knife or offset spatula, being careful not to scrape the crust.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until the cheesecake is firm before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with extra apple butter, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
