CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE



Caramel Apple Cheesecake image

Sooo Good! I'm not sure if this wasn't originally one of those Kraft-Philly Recipe's, but I now see that Paula Dean also claims it as her own. Either way I was at first a little skeptical to try it since it called for canned apples, etc. But boy am I glad I did! It is absolutely incredible!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

21 oz can(s) apple fruit filling - devided
2 8oz pkg softened cream cheese
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 c caramel ice cream topping
12 whole pecans (pecan halves)
3-4 Tbsp chopped pecans
1 9 or 10 inch graham cracker crust prepared in glass pie plate (or use ready made crust which is what the original recipe calls for).

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350
  • 2. Reserve 3/4 cup apple filling. Spoon remaining filling into crust.
  • 3. Beat together cream cheese, sugar & vanilla.
  • 4. Add eggs and beat well. Pour over apple filling.
  • 5. Bake 35 min's or until center is set.
  • 6. Cool
  • 7. Mix reserved apple filling & caramel topping in small saucepan & heat about 1 minute.
  • 8. Arrange apple slices around outside edge of cheesecake.
  • 9. Spoon caramel sauce over the cheesecake & spread evenly.
  • 10. Decorate w/pecan halves around edges (alternating in between sliced apples). Sprinkle w/chopped pecans
  • 11. Refrigerate at least overnight ... *but best prepared a day or two in advance.
  • 12. It actually turns out much nicer than the picture shows, but it's the only one I could find to post. The presenation is much nicer when apples and pecans are alternately arranged around the edge as the directions say, with the chopped pecans sprinkled around the middle. But no matter what it looks like ... you will love every bite!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cream cheese. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your cheesecake.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.

Conclusion:

Fresh Caramel Apple Cheesecake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a cheesecake that will impress your friends and family.
