OLIVE GARDEN APPLE PRALINE CHEESECAKE
I usually am requested to make this for Superbowl gatherings. It is really good and very different from a standard cheesecake. Can't remember where I got this recipe from.

PRALINE CHEESECAKE
From "Carry-Out Cuisine" by Phyllis Meras. This recipe was given to me as part of a Christmas gift from my late Aunt Donna. She used to make this every year for our Christmas Eve open house. Wonderfully rich, not meant for those light dessert seekers.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Combine crust ingredients in a small bowl.
- Press mixture into a 9- or 10- inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven.
- When crust is done, remove from oven and set aside.
- Increase oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, evaporated milk, flour, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; beat well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour filling mixture into baked crust.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes (center of cheesecake should still be slightly wobbly).
- Cool cheesecake completely (using whatever preferred method; everyone has their own).
- Before serving, paint the top with maple syrup and arrange whole pecans in a decorative pattern on top (I usually do it in such a way as to have one pecan per slice).
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:
- Use a graham cracker crust for a classic flavor and texture.
- For a richer crust, use a combination of graham crackers and chopped nuts.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits inside the plate.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- 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.
