Put crackers, nuts, brown sugar in bowl and add melted butter, mix together, poor in 9 inch spring form pan, spread mixture evenly on bottom of pan,bring some of the crackers up the side of the pan evenly (as seen in my photo)Bake@350 for 5 minutes-do not over bake.
  • 2. APPLES-peel,core and dice apples then put in frying pan with melted butter, after 3 minutes sprinkle with one teaspoon of cinnamon and stir, about 2 min more they should be soft and brown-remove and let cool.
  • 3. FILLING-beat cream cheese,sugar,eggs,sour cream,add 2t of cinnamon and 2t nutmeg,add cooled apples and stir. Pour into spring form pan and bake at 350 for about 1 hour.
  • 4. CARAMEL SAUCE-in a good sauce pan put in caramels, butter and milk, stir until melted. Take off burner and let cool.
  • 5. TAKE OUT- cheesecake from oven and allow to cool, pour cool caramel sauce over cake and put in refrigerator. Let stand for a few hours or overnight.
  • 6. SERVING-take out of refrigerator and let stand about 30 minutes. Spring open pan SLOWLY to, remove side of pan,it is a good idea to have a small container of warm water to clean knife off after cutting then dry with towel and cut again-the topping can get gooey.
  • 7. MUST HAVES-you will need a 9 inch spring form pan with this recipe as seen in one of my pictures.
  • 8. FRESH-I always make sure I have the freshest eggs, cream cheese, and sour cream when I make this. As in any recipe I do think it makes a big difference.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out at all like the picture. It was a complete mess. I'm so disappointed.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was soggy, the filling was lumpy, and the caramel apple flavor was artificial. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Overall, I thought this cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my liking, but the flavor was good. I would recommend using a different crust next time.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.
