    CRUST: Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Blend
    completely. Press on bottom and an inch up sides of 9" springform pan.
    Set aside. Preheat oven to 325ºF.

    APPLE LAYER: Peel and core apples and cut into eights. In a large, heavy

    skillet cook the apples with the sugar, butter, and spices, stirring
    frequently, just until the apples start to caramelize. Arrange the
    apples
    over the crust.

    CHEESE LAYER: In a large mixing bowl with electric mixer beat the cream
    cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in vanilla and lemon
    peel. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Pour mixture over apples.

    Bake at 325ºF. for 65 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn off oven
    and keep cheesecake in oven with the door slightly opened for one hour.
    Cool in pan on wire rack. Chill for several hours. Remove from pan to
    serve.

    Makes about 12 servings.
