  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  5. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes until just slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Garnish with caramel sauce, whipped cream, or apple slices before serving for added fall flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the crust before adding the filling to ensure it remains crisp.
