Preparation
  1. Begin by boiling 3 cups of fresh apple cider with mulling spices for 30-45 minutes until it reduces to about ⅓ cup; allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Blend digestive cookies or graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter, salt, and powdered sugar; press into a greased and lined 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese with brown sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in sour cream, cooled reduced apple cider, and flour until combined. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  5. Pour filling into the cooled crust, placing the cheesecake pan in a larger baking pan filled with hot water. Bake for 80-90 minutes, until edges are set but center is slightly wobbly.
  6. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing cheesecake to cool in the oven for 30 minutes before moving to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving.
  7. Optional: Drizzle with homemade apple cider caramel before serving.

Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture. Use a water bath for a creamier cheesecake and cool gradually to prevent sinking in the center.
