Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 32 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup apple cider, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  5. Beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth.
  6. Add flour, then mix in apple cider, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  7. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each.
  8. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door cracked for 1 hour.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  12. Before serving, simmer 1/2 cup apple cider until reduced to a syrup, then drizzle over the top.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Run a knife around the pan edge before releasing the springform.
  • Chill the cheesecake completely for clean slices.
