Notes

  1. Make sure to beat your cream cheese well, this is important for making sure you have no lumps in your cheesecake.
  2. Adding in eggs one by one ensures that they are evenly distributed.
  3. Make sure you scrape down the sides when mixing, this will also help with keeping lumps out of your cheesecake recipe.
  4. Normally we do a water bath, but for this recipe recipe we opted not to because we changed the ingredients slightly.
  5. Make sure to cool your cheesecake on the counter before placing in the refrigerator, this is an important step.
  6. To cut the perfect slice, heat a knife under hot water and wipe dry before slicing.
  7. You can substitute the cookie crust for a graham cracker crust if you'd like.
  8. This can be frozen, please see my tips above on how to freeze this Apple Cheesecake.
