Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Cider Cheesecake
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl. Mix in melted butter until moistened. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth, then mix in sugar. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract and reduced apple cider. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt; mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in sour cream until incorporated. Smooth the filling onto pre-baked crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven and cool with door ajar for 1 hour.
- After cooling, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Remove from the springform pan and garnish as desired before serving.

Notes
Don’t overmix the filling to avoid cracks. Chill for best texture and use quality cream cheese and apple cider for optimal flavor.
