Dutch Apple Crumble Cheesecake

We had this over Thanksgiving and I was worried about it because it looked more moist than I expected it to but I thought it tasted so good! I found this recipe out of a book from the library called Complete Cake Mix Magic.

Dutch Apple Crumble Cheesecake

Crust:
1 pkg white cake mix
1/2 C butter

Reserve 1/3 cup cake mix for topping. Melt the butter. Combine the remaining cake with melted butter. Mix until soft dough forms. Press over bottom and sides. Bake until the crust is starting to set but still soft.

Filling:
1/2 lbs. cream cheese, softened
1 C brown sugar
1 C sour cream
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, brown sugar, and sour cream. Beat for three minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Topping:
1/4 C brown sugar
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 TBS butter, softened
1 large apple, peeled, cored, sliced

Combine reserved cake mix, sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Mix until crumbly. Set aside.

Pour the filling into crust. Arrange the apple slices on top in a circular pattern. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples. Bake 50-60 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Cover and refrigerate over night.
