Apple Streusel Cheesecake
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
3 cups finely crushed graham crackers
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
dash cinammon
dash allspice
Mix well. Grease a 12-inch springform pan. Pour crust/crumbs into pan and press down firmly, working some up the edges to form 'sidewalls'. I found a smooth 'double old-fashioned' glass worked well for this. Set aside.
Apple filling:
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced 1/3 inch thick
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Cinnamon
3 tablespoons whipping cream
In large frypan, melt the butter and sugar. Add apples to the pan; I do a light dust of cinnamon with each layer of apples. Cook apples for 3-5 minutes, just a little tender / brown, not mushy. Add the cream and cook for five minutes more, stirring occasionally.
Cheesecake batter:
2 8-oz. packages Philadelphia cream cheese
1 cup brown sugar
dash vanilla
16 oz. tub sour cream
5 eggs
Soften cheese (unless you have one of those 300+ watt Kitchen Aid type mixers; then let it do the heavy work instead). Using electric mixer, blend the cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Then add one egg at a time (beat after each) and the sour cream. Beat until smooth.
Add apple filling to graham cracker crust. Arrange pieces so they evenly fill the whole bottom of the pan.
Pour cheesecake batter over apple filling in graham-cracker pie crust in pan.
Topping:
1 cup Bisquick
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter
Mix until crumbly (by the way, this is the same topping used in 'Bisquick Coffee Cake'). Sprinkle over the cheesecake batter in the pan.
Bake at 350 for 75 minutes. Open the oven door gently and let stand 1 hour to cool before removing. Chill in refrigerator.
Helpful hint: For even cooking, place pan of boiling water onto rack below cheesecake during baking. This will also help prevent cracking.
