Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pulse together the gluten-free crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a parchment lined cheesecake pan (or two smaller lined cheesecake pans).

In a food processor, whir together the mascarpone, gjetost, sugar, eggs, and half the apple butter.

Chill for several hours.
Spread the remaining apple butter on top and then arrange the apple slices and dust with cinnamon.
