Filling
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (476 g) heavy cream
- ¾ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup (120 g) apple butter
Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon. Add the melted butter to the crumbs. Using a fork, mix well. (You want every crumb coated in the butter as this will be the glue that holds it together.)
Pour the graham cracker crumbs into the sprayed springform pan. Pat them flat with your hand or the bottom of a kitchen glass, including up the sides. Place in the refrigerator to chill as you make the filling.
Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed with a hand-held mixer until creamy and smooth. (You could also use a stand mixer.)
Add in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Beat for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes fluffier.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust.
Top with large dollops of apple butter. Using a knife or an offset spatula, swirl the apple butter into the filling, being careful not to scrape the crust.
Refrigerate until the filling is firm and cold, about 6 hours, up to overnight, before cutting and serving.
