Notes

  • Use full-fat block cream cheese for best texture.
  • Homemade apple pie filling offers richer flavor.
  • Let the cheesecake chill overnight for clean slices.
  • Graham cracker crust can be swapped with gingersnaps or vanilla wafers.
  • Top with caramel drizzle or candied nuts for extra flavor.
