Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • 2 tbsp apple juice (as a bourbon substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow cooling.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and bake for about 45–50 minutes until edges are set but center is slightly wobbly. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. For the caramel swirl, melt sugar in a saucepan until amber; stir in butter and whisk in heavy cream and apple juice until blended.
  6. Drizzle cooled caramel over chilled cheesecake before serving.
