I made this pie in a 9-inch pie plate and it turned out perfect. I think it would be too big for an 8-inch pie plate.

I had trouble finding taffy apples. I ended up using regular apples and they worked just fine.

The crust on this pie was a little dry. I would brush it with butter before baking next time.

This pie is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but this pie changed my mind. The cheesecake filling was light and fluffy, and the apples added a nice tartness.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was smooth and creamy.

I love the gooey caramel topping on this pie. It adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish.

This cheesecake pie was a hit at my last party! The combination of sweet and tart apples with the creamy cheesecake filling was divine. I'll definitely be making this again.
