Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Butter Cheesecake
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well mixed. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Gradually mix in sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract until combined.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
  7. Gently fold in the apple butter until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for approximately 1 hour, until the center is set.
  10. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
