Description
A delicious treat combining creamy cheesecake, sweet caramel, and crunchy apples, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 2/3 cups graham crackers (about 12 full graham cracker sheets)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened (two 8-oz packages)
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 21 oz apple pie filling
- 3 cups Cool Whip or whipped cream
- 1 cup caramel sauce, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and melted butter, then press into a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the beaten eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and bake for 23-27 minutes or until the top is dry to the touch. Let cool.
- Drizzle 1/2 cup of caramel sauce over the cooled cheesecake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- Top the cheesecake with apple pie filling, spread Cool Whip or whipped cream over that, and drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For best flavor, serve chilled and consider garnishing with extra caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Ensure cream cheese is softened completely to achieve a smooth filling.
