I've always wanted to learn how to make a cheesecake since it's such a classic dessert. I decided for my family Christmas dinner this year that it would be a great opportunity for me to learn how to make one and serve it for the dessert course. The recipe that I picked was the
Autumn Cheesecake from
Allrecipes.com.

Cheese layer added onto of the graham crackers |
Many of the reviewers for this recipe recommended doubling the quantity of the ingredients for the filling, so I did the same thing.

Apples tossed with cinnamon and sugar |
 |
Apples and pecans (I was short on pecans because they were all used up in the mason jar project) |
Many reviewers also recommended baking the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent cracks.

Voila! All baked and ready to be chilled |
Voila! The cheesecake turned out to be quite delicious. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Some suggestions for improvement were that the apple slices could have been arranged in a neater way so the dish would look more appealing and that more pecans were needed. I say those are some easy adjustments to make for next time! Also, I wouldn't recommend using a casserole dish to bake the cake because it made the serving process a little difficult.
I actually liked the amount of pecans that you had. I thought it was really good for your first time!
