Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 8 ounces goat cheese (not crumbles, softened)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1/4 cup cajeta

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into bottom and partway up the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Reduce oven to 325°F.
  • Using a stand mixer, beat together cream cheese and goat cheese until blended, then beat in lemon juice, bourbon (if using), and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, scrape down sides, and beat 1 minute more to make sure ingredients are fully incorporated and mixture is smooth.
  • Pour batter into crust and bake for 50-60 minutes, until center is set.
  • Let cool completely, then cover with apple butter. Loosen from springform and drizzle with cajeta just before serving.
