Mix butter and crumbs; press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. BEAT cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Pour into crust; top with apple slices and almonds. Combine cinnamon and remaining 3 Tbsp. sugar; sprinkle over cheesecake. BAKE 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator. KITCHEN TIPS: Check cheesecake doneness by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, it will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly. Do not insert a knife into the center as this may cause the cheesecake to crack during cooling. This webpage created and maintained by: Cyberbargins.net - for Maria's Kitchen
