How to Make Maple Walnut Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and maple extract.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
  7. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
  8. Bake for 105 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
