Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add sour cream, sugar, reduced apple cider, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Prepare the Apple Compote
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, brown sugar, apple cider, and cinnamon.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is syrupy.
Serve
- Once the cheesecake is cooled, remove it from the springform pan and top with the apple compote before serving.

Notes
