Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Apple Cider Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then mix in melted unsalted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract, reduced apple cider, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt until well incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in sour cream until combined.
  6. Pour filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  10. Carefully remove from springform pan, garnish as desired, and serve.
