Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract and sour cream.
Spread half of the cheesecake batter over the crust.
In a separate bowl, mix apple pie filling with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Layer the apple mixture over the cheesecake batter.
Top with the remaining cheesecake batter and smooth the top.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and garnish with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake batter.
Chill the cheesecake overnight for best results.
Fresh homemade apple pie filling can enhance the flavor.
Use a water bath while baking to prevent cracks.
