Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (divided)
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; press into the pan bottom. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth; add sugar gradually. Mix in eggs one at a time, then fold in vanilla and sour cream. Pour over cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan filled halfway with hot water. Bake for 55-65 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- While baking, melt butter in a skillet; add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook until soft (about 8 minutes). Cool mixture.
- For the salted caramel: Melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until amber; stir in butter and whisk in heavy cream carefully. Add sea salt.
- Once fully cooled (at least four hours), top cheesecake with apple mixture and drizzle with salted caramel before serving.
