Ingredients for Homemade Pumpkin Maple Cheesecake 

Easy to find ingredients for this quick autumn cheesecake recipe

You might already have most of these ingredients on hand to make this homemade pumpkin cheesecake. There's nothing unusual about the ingredient list, so this can be made when you're in a bind! This should serve a dozen people or more if you cut the slices thin.

Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup melted better
- 1 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers
- 24 oz (3 packages) softened cream cheese
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure Maple Syrup (the better the quality, the better the taste)
- 3 beaten eggs
- Caramel drizzle

Right: spreading the crust over the springform pan.

A Springform Pan That Will Stand Up to Your Knives 

Get a durable Calphalon springform pan that outperforms other nonstick versions

Nonstick coatings can wear off and flake off over time, which is an unhealthy ingredient in any meal no matter what you're making. For a pan that will stand the test of time, you need a nonstick version that will hold up to cutting and won't flake off after multiple uses. Calphalon makes a great, durable pan that's held up time and time again, and it's made of heavy-gauge, aluminized steel, not cheap disposable non stick coating.

Cool the cheesecake well before serving. Give it at least 6 hours, more if you can, or the cheesecake will still be near room temp, or worse yet, warm.

Directions for Maple Pumpkin Cheesecake 

Find out how to make this maple pumpkin cheesecake recipe here!

1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a bowl. Press the mixture onto the sides and bottom of a sprinform 9 inch pan, ungreased. For about 8-10 minutes, bake the shell. Cool the entire shell after baking.

2. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla, brown sugar, and maple syrup, then beat until combined. Fold the eggs into the mixture.

3. Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust cheesecake shell that you just baked. Evenly distribute the filling all over the crust. Bake on a baking sheet for approximately 60 minutes, or more time if the cheesecake is not set. The cheesecake will be done when the top is firm and doesn't wiggle when shaken. It's normal for some cracking to occur in the filling.

4. Cool for at least an hour before attempting to remove the springform. Use a knife to help pop off the springform, then cool adequately before putting in the fridge. Once the cheesecake hits near room temp, place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 6 hours to cool (overnight is better).

5. To serve, drizzle the caramel syrup onto the entire maple cheesecake before cutting.

Right: how the cheesecake will look once it heads into the oven.

For the best maple flavor

use real, authentic maple syrup, not imitation. Also, with baking, the darker the amber of the syrup, the sweeter it is. This is great for baking, so if you want an intense maple flavor, choose a grade that has a deep, dark color.
