It tastes DIVINE! I made this for my boyfriend surprise birthday party and took it to campus. I got raving reviews from all my friends and they literally couldn't stay away from the cake box wolfing down every crumb of the cake, which made me had to put the activity to a halt because I wanted to bring back some pieces for bf's mom and granny. I doubled the recipe and used a 24-cm springform pan, but apparently the crust needs more butter to hold the cracker crumbs stronger. I baked it for 70 minutes in water-bath and cooled it down in the oven for 1 hour. I used Granny Smith, the tartness scales down the sweetness from sugar. Since it's pretty hard for me to find pecans here, I subbed it with cashews. I forgot to throw-in the nut in the topping but I made a streusel topping NOELC suggested in this recipe which brings the whole taste of cheesecake to another level! Thanks Stephanie for making my bf's surprise birthday a blast with the cake!! I owe you big time!
