Instructions: |
Combine crust ingredients; pat into a 7-inch springform
pan.
Beat sugars into cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Beat in eggs, whipping cream, cornstarch, and vanilla.
Beat for about 3 minutes on medium speed of a
hand-held electric mixer. Pour mixture into the
prepared crust. Combine apple slices with sugar,
cinnamon and nuts; place topping evenly over the top
of cheesecake. Place the cheesecake on a rack (or "ring"
of aluminum foil to keep it off the bottom of the pot)
in the crock pot. Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to
3 hours. Let stand in the covered pot (after turning
it off) for about 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough
to handle. Cool thoroughly before removing pan sides.
Chill before serving; store leftovers in the
refrigerator.
