Ingredients:
Crust:
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup flour

Cheesecake filling:
2 packages cream cheese, 8 oz at room temp.
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Cinnamon-apple topping:
3 apples (Golden Delicious)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon, ground
1/2 cup orange marmalade, melted


Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 *.
To prepare the crust, cream the butter and 1/3 cup sugar, and add the flour and blended until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat crumbs into the bottom and 1" up the sides of a 10" springform pan. Bake 10 minutes, until golden. Cool.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar together until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Pour the mixture evenly over the baked crust. Core apples and cut into thin even slices. Arrange apple slices in overlapping layers over the cream cheese filling. Mix 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon, and sprinkle over top of the apples. Bake 35 minutes, until the apples are tender and the cheesecake layer is set. Cool, then chill.
Before serving, spoon the warm orange marmalade over the top. This cheesecake is very pretty as the apple slices bake into the cheesecake filling with a cinnamon glaze on top.
