In a small bowl mix together ingredients for crust. Pour into a 9 inch spring form pan and press down. I use the bottom of a measuring cup. Set aside. In a medium sauce pan and ingredients for apple filling. Mix and cook on low for 10 to 12 minutes stirring occasionally. While your apples are cooking cream together cream cheese and butter for at least five minutes until light and fluffy. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and cornstarch mix completely. Add sour cream. Only mix until sour cream is combined. Do not over mix this will create air pockets in your cheesecake. Pour half of cheesecake mixture over the crust and layer with apples. Drizzle with a little caramel. Pour remaining batter over the top of the apples and sprinkle with brown sugar topping. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake in oven for an additional 15 minutes. Refrigerate for at least two hours. While cheesecake is chilling beat heavy whipping cream and 3 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to stiff peaks. After cheesecake is set up remove from pan and drizzle with remaining caramel. Decorate with whipping cream and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
