Caramel Apple Crisp Cheesecake

This beauty has a Graham Cracker Crust. For those that are unsure what that is, it’s a simple digestive biscuit that stars in many dessert recipes. We have a Graham Crackers recipe on our site if you prefer to make your own. The filling is made of simple ingredients that include cream cheese, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cornstarch and vanilla. You’ll need to allow around 20 minutes prep time and 40 minutes to bake. You will also be refrigerating overnight so be sure to allow additional time.
