4 cups sliced apples (from 2 to 3 apples)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350°F.

2) Combine graham crackers, 3 tablespoons sugar, butter, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon together in a large bowl; mix well. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 10 minutes.

3) In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar together until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add vanilla and beat; pour mixture into prepared pie crust.

4) In a large bowl, combine remaining 1/3 cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Add apples and toss to coat. Spoon apples over cheesecake filling; sprinkle pecans evenly over. Bake one hour, remove, and cool before serving.

Answer 2

Ingredients:

16 ounces of softened cream cheese.

4 cups of apple slices, peeled and sliced thinly (2-3 apples).

1 cup of graham cracker (or other biscuit) crumbs.

Three amounts of sugar: 3 tablespoons, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup.

1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

3 tablespoons of melted margarine.

2 medium eggs.

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

1/2 cup of chopped pecans.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F (175C).

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and melted margarine, and mix well.

Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Bake for about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat after each is added. Blend in the vanilla, and pour the mixture into prepared crust.

In a large bowl, combine 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Add the apples and toss to coat. Spoon the apples over top of the cheesecake filling. Sprinkle the pecans over the apples. Put back into the oven and bake for an hour.

Chill, then serve.
