I'm not a very good baker but this cheesecake turned out fantastic! Even people who don't like cheesecake were coming back for seconds. I followed the other reviewer's suggestions and used 3 packages of cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for the cheesecake filling and it was perfect. I used McIntosh apples and microwaved them before adding them to the top of the cake. Can't wait to make this again, thanks for the awesome recipe.

This was a good cheesecake, but I didn't think it was anything spectacular. I did modify it a bit. I don't have a springform pan, only a glass pie dish, so instead of doubling the cream cheese mixture, like others recommend, i just halved the apple part. But I think I would've actually liked more apples on it. I also nuked them in the micro for a couple minutes and drained the juice. I added the crumble topping, as well which I liked. I baked with a water bath, as recommended and let sit in oven for a while after it was done baking. When it was done and had chilled for a while, i served it with some butterscotch topping (thought I had caramel, but didn't) and that was good. I don't know that I'm crazy about this recipe, but it is good.

Double the cheesecake filling. Microwave the apples with the cinnamon and sugar for 1 minute before adding to the cheesecake. Bake for 75-80 minutes. Put a pan of water on the lowest rack while backing. Run knife around edge of pan after baking. Let cool in oven for at least an hour, occasionally running a knife around the pan.

Absolutely delicious! I did not use a water bath and it was fine (I think it having a topping might make it unnecessary). Also, I used a 7.5" pan and it was still pretty thin so I would definitely try to use a small springform or double the filling.

Absolutely fabulous! Everyone loved it and it was gone so fast all I got was a tiny little piece! The only changes I made was to add a little extra vanilla and cinnamon to the filling.....

First Cheesecake I have ever made! And it came out great! My husband had to ask me several times if I actually made it! The only thing I changed was that I used Splenda instead of sugar. I am so proud! So trust me, if I can make it, YOU can make this!

This was my first attempt at cheesecake and I was very pleased with the results. Hubby loved it and suggested I make it every year! I only had two 8oz packets of cream cheese and it was fine. I also only had 1/2 cup of pecans, and I used it on the top. I also made a topping of brown sugar, and flour and cooked the cake over a pan of water. Used granny smith apples. Fantastic! Can't wait to make again nest year. Thanks for an outstanding recipe!

This is an amazing cheesecake! I'm very particular and cook and bake often but my old recipe of 14 years has just been replaced! This came out p-e-r-f-e-c-t. I only had 2 apples and it was still amazing. The apples cooked exactly as I had hoped, soft but not at all mushy. I used a corer and then sliced them length wise three times. It has just the right amount of sweetness, spice, cheesecake flavor and the apples were a perfect compliment. All the flavors work so well together. Other than being short on apples I didn't change a thing and am so glad I didn't. I personally wouldn't want it any thicker. It looks very professional and wow what a dessert for the holiday. I love this cheesecake!

* First, how I made it: I doubled the cream filling and the crust. Used 1.5 of the crust, topped it with 1/2 cream, then put the apples, then the rest of the cream and finally sprinkled the rest of the crust above it all. Baked it in a water bath, let it cool for 1 hour with the oven door open, and then refrigerated it. * Comments: Nice presentation and taste. One of the best desserts ever! It misses #1 because it was a bit too sweet for my liking - definately not a chees-y cheesecake. So, next time I am thinking of cutting the sugar in half for the cream, and reducing it to 60% for the rest of the dessert, and I bet the result will be this: A family classic for decades to come! Thanks for sharing! * UPDATE: This time, I didn't cut the apples in cubes, and put them between two layers of cream filling, as the first time. Instead, I sliced them really thin and baked them in the oven for 10 minutes (mixed with sugar and cinnamon). They were really tender, and I put them on top (better presentation). Also, I used half the overall amount of sugar suggested in this recipe. It was MUCH better this time!

A lot of people mentioned that they microwaved the apples. There is absolutely no need to do that. The problem was probably caused by them not slicing the apples thin enough. The same problem probably caused others to state that the apples slid around when they sliced the cake. I used an apple corer/slicer and then took each slice and sliced that at least 3 times which made very nice thin slices for the top of the cake without losing any of the juices, and the serrated knife I used to cut the cake cut right through the apples without them moving. Wonderful presentation. The only changes I made were to 1. used 1.5 times the cream cheese filling (8 oz addt'l cream cheese and 1 add't egg); 2. used glass pie plate rather than springform pan (didn't have one, and didn't miss it) 3. put pan of water in oven as suggested by another reviewer and 4. drizzled caramel topping on top when serving. Delicious, thank you Stephanie.***UPDATE***Made this again and didn't increase the cream cheese filling. I liked it even more than when I increased it. This cheesecake is addictive.
