Bake at 350F for 40 to 45 minutes or until center is just set.

Gently spread remaining apple sauce over cheesecake. Cool; refrigerate several hours.

TOPPING: Drain raspberries; reserve syrup. Set raspberries aside. Add enough water to syrup to equal ¾ cup.

In small saucepan, combine syrup, jelly and cornstarch; stir to dissolve cornstarch. Cook and stir over medium heat until clear, thickened and jelly is melted. Stir in raspberries. Chill.

Arrange peach slices on cheesecake; drizzle with some raspberry sauce. Just before serving, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Serve cheesecake slices with additional Raspberry Peach Topping.

TIP: *To prepare in 9-inch spring form pan, make filling 1½ times the recipe. Bake at 350F for 60 to 65 minutes.

Notes: Pantry: Mott's Regular Apple Sauce. Cheesecakes are an ideal make-ahead dessert. They are their peak 24 to 36 hours after baking.
