Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure it's tightly packed for a sturdy crust.
Making the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
Assembling the Cheesecake
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Spoon apple pie filling over the top of the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Chilling
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly.
Serving
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and top with additional whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For substitutions, feel free to use low-fat cream cheese or whipped topping. Ensure any substitutes comply with Halal guidelines. Avoid rushing the chilling time for the best texture.
