Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the apple butter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the graham cracker crust and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating.
