Today's Baking with Dorrie recipe is Brown Sugar Apple Cheesecake and can be found here, or on page 238 of Baking, from My Home to Yours.
I changed the recipe quite a bit. First, I used gingerbread graham crackers for the crust instead of ginger snaps. I had never seen them before and wanted to give them a try. They are awesome for crusts! However just eating them plain...I don't know. The ginger flavor is too strong. I was going to take the leftover packs to school for snacks for the kids but I don't think they would care for them. I 'll still try though and see what they think.
I love cinnamon and I could really taste it in every rich, creamy bite. This was a fun recipe to try..and we enjoyed it very much!

I didn't know Honey Maid has a gingerbread flavor out--I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for them!!
That's funny - I like my cheesecake plain too! I mean...I'll eat ones that have "stuff" on them but I am a simple, classic cheesecake kind of girl!
This looks awesome - love the picture!
Mmm, cinnamon is the spice I love. Great cake.
I didn't even know there were gingerbread graham crackers. Great idea to use them in the crust. Your cheesecake came out beautifully and I have no doubt that it was like heaven in every bite.
Your cheesecake looks wonderfully creamy!
You must try the apple version - I expected it to be so-so, but the apples taste remarkably good in there.
Incidentally I did mini-versions too and added a pinch of ginger to my gingersnap crumbs since I like things spicier (forgot to mention in my own post). So, send over those gingerbread honey maids will ya? ;-)
I love that you used the gingerbread graham crackers...that sounds fabulous! I agree with Grapefruit regarding the apples...that was the only thing that sounded a bit iffy to me, but it really made the cheesecake that much better. Yours look fabulous...thanks for baking with me!
Ohhh i sooo love cinnamon too , infact im on an overdose of cinnamon and vanilla since thanksgivving!
I think it would be soo delightful to add cinnamon to the cheese cake and some more holiday spices too , the caramel apple suprise is soooo good too!
Pretty cheesecake !
Your cheesecake looks great, even without the apples, which I loved. I could see it made this way, though and I might just try it.
I could not do the crust (forgot to write this) because my hubby can't have it. I made a nut crust just for the top.
