Method
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream and sugar, mixing until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in apple cider, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
Bake the Cheesecake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Apple Compote
- In a saucepan, combine diced apples, apple cider, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving over the cheesecake.
Serve
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with the apple compote before serving.

Notes
For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to allow flavors to meld.
