Notes
If this dessert is one you plan on not eating all at once, I would recommend adding a teaspoon or two of lemon juice to the apples, so they don't brown and make sure you seal the dessert well.
Or you can sautee the apples a couple minutes longer.

This looks really good! I want to make a taller cheesecake in a 10 inch springform pan. How would you recommend adjusting the cheesecake recipe? Also, what is the reason for the addition of flour in the batter?
Kim Lange says
Hi Lauren, from what I've researched as a rule of thumb, adding starches like cornstarch, potato starch or flour makes the cheesecake denser and also does not crack as easily from overbaking. Hope you enjoy!!
