Print Recipe

Caramel Apple Cheesecake brings together a creamy vanilla filling, sweet apple topping, caramel, and pecans in a cozy baked dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup caramel topping
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
  • 1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling
  • 12 pecan halves plus 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
  2. Measure out 3/4 cup of the apple pie filling and keep it aside for the topping.
  3. Spread the remaining apple pie filling across the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture looks smooth and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until blended.
  6. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the apples and smooth the surface.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the middle is set.
  8. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature.
  9. Warm the reserved apple filling with the caramel topping for about 1 minute, just until loose enough to spoon over the cheesecake.
  10. Spread the caramel apple topping over the cooled cheesecake.
  11. Place the pecan halves around the outside edge and scatter the chopped pecans over the top.
  12. Chill until ready to slice and serve.

Notes

  • Softened cream cheese blends more easily and helps keep the filling creamy.
  • Use a sturdy 9 inch graham cracker crust so it can hold the apple layer and filling.
  • Cool the cheesecake before adding the topping so the surface stays neat.
  • Refrigerating before slicing gives the dessert a cleaner texture.
