Ingredients | What Does Emerald Ash Borer Larvae Look Like

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup melted butter

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

4 eggs

4 cups apples (about 3) - peeled, cored, and chopped

½ cup packed brown sugar

¾ cup chopped pecans

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, extending the foil sheets over the side of the dish.

To make the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar together in a bowl until evenly blended. Press evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

To make the filling, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup brown sugar, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Beat in the sour cream. On low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Pour the mixture over the crust.

To make the topping, place the apples in a bowl, and toss with 1/2 cup brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon until evenly blended.

Bake in preheated oven until center is almost set, about 55 minutes. Cool, and refrigerate 4 hours, or overnight.

Before cutting, allow the cheesecake to sit 30 minutes at room temperature, then lift from the baking dish using the extended aluminum foil sheets, and place on a cutting board or serving plate. Remove the aluminum foil, and cut into 16 squares.
