cinnamon; stir in brandy and cook an additional 3 minutes. Add remaining tablespoon butter and stir. Cool to room temperature. Arrange apples in a decorative pattern over cheesecake and drizzle with remaining juices. Cut cheesecake into wedges and serve.


Note: If you cannot find Applejack brandy, simply substitute unflavored brandy.
