Description
A delicious and decadent dessert that combines rich cheesecake with sweet apple pie filling and a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup apple pie filling
- 1 apple, chopped (for garnish)
- Crumbled graham crackers (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Make cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
- Layer cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust in the pan. Next, add a layer of apple pie filling and drizzle with caramel sauce. Finally, pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the apple layer.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned. Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.
- Refrigerate: After cooling, remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish with chopped apples, crumbled graham crackers, and extra caramel sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
- For best flavor, refrigerate overnight before serving.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
