How to Make Bavarian Apple Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Gently fold the apples into the cheesecake batter.
- Pour the batter into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set and the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with whipped cream, apple slices, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
