Ingredients
  

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs

2 cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2-3 medium apples)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

      Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue to beat until well blended. Mix in the vanilla extract, and then add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

        Prepare Apple Mixture: In a separate bowl, toss the diced apples with cinnamon until well coated. Folding this mixture gently into the cream cheese filling.

          Combine and Pour: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle the 1 cup of caramel sauce over the filling, and use a knife to create a marbled effect by swirls.

            Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool for an hour in the oven.

              Chill: After cooling, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

                Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and additional caramel sauce drizzled on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
