Ingredients used

• Graham crackers-  This gives you a classic cheesecake crust.  You can use honey graham crackers or cinnamon graham crackers to make the graham cracker crumbs. You can crush these up in a bag or food processor.
• Cream cheese –  Make sure you soften your cream cheese really well so you will get a smooth creamy cheesecake filling.  Make sure you are using room temperature cream cheese for the
  cream cheese mixture.
• Sugar –  Of course you need sugar to make cheesecake! Granulated sugar is all you need.
• Large eggs – These help bind the cheesecake and give it richness.
• Butter –  You need a little butter for the crust. 
• Brown sugar-  This adds a richer, deeper sweetness to the cake.
• Sour cream-  Sour cream gives the cheesecake a great creamy flavor.
• Flour- This helps give the cheesecake stability.
• Vanilla extract- Adds just a bit flavor.
• Apples- Peeled and diced.  Use your favorite apples. I like to dice them for this recipe but you can use apple slices if you prefer.  Granny smith or honey crisp are my favorite.
• Caramel topping- I like to use the ice cream topping. You can also use a homemade caramel sauce or salted caramel sauce.
• Cinnamon-  Adds a bit of warmth to the apples.
• Whipped cream for topping, optional.
