Preparation
Step 1
Use Room Temperature IngredientsWhen making cheesecakes, bring the eggs and cream cheese to room temperature before using. This will allow for easier blending with the other ingredients. To bring to room temperature, remove the ingredients from the refrigerator about 30 min. before using.
HEAT oven to 350°F.
COMBINE graham crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan.
MIX 2 Tbsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon; reserve for later use. Beat cream cheese with remaining sugar and cinnamon with mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.
TOSS apples with reserved sugar mixture; spoon over cheesecake batter.
BAKE 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 4 hours.
MICROWAVE caramels and water in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until sauce is smooth when stirred. Drizzle over cheesecake just before serving.
