Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.

  3. In a bowl, toss sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time while mixing well; then add vanilla extract and sour cream.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the apple layer in the pan and bake for about 60-70 minutes until almost set.
  6. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
  7. For the salted caramel sauce, heat sugar until melted and amber-colored; stir in butter, then cream and sea salt.
  8. Drizzle salted caramel over chilled cheesecake just before serving.
