Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the apple butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and spices. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  4. If using a slow cooker, place a towel on the lid to catch condensation and set it on a trivet inside the cooker. For an air fryer, set the temperature according to the manufacturer’s instructions for baking (usually around 320°F).
  5. Cook: Slow Cooker – Cook on low for 2-3 hours; Air Fryer – Cook for approximately 50-60 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the middle.
  6. Once cooked, remove the cheesecake from the cooker and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Remove from springform pan, slice and serve topped with whipped cream or apple butter.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Can be frozen for up to three months.
