If you have easy access to great apples (that is, you live somewhat close to an “apple belt,” as we do), this dressing will become a staple. Just mix it up and pour it into a plastic squirt bottle.
An extra-silky filling (no water bath needed!) and a smooth sour cream topping make this the ultimate cheesecake.
