Ingredients:
Crust:
1 cup (scant) graham cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts

Filling:
16 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
3 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
1 large apple, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon finely chopped pecans or walnuts


Directions::
1. Combine crust ingredients; pat into a 7-inch springform pan.
2. Beat sugars into cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, whipping cream, cornstarch, and vanilla. Beat for about 3 minutes on medium speed of a hand-held electric mixer. Pour mixture into the prepared crust.
3. Combine apple slices with sugar, cinnamon and nuts; place topping evenly over the top of cheesecake. Place the cheesecake on a rack (or "ring" of aluminum foil to keep it off the bottom of the pot) in the Crock Pot.
4. Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let stand in the covered pot (after turning it off) for about 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough to handle. Cool thoroughly before removing pan sides.
5. Chill before serving; store leftovers in the refrigerator.
