Thank goodness for everyone's comments. I didn't use the orange zest, the muscovado sugar, or the vanilla beans. I read the comments listed and listen to the advice and my cheescake came out perfect! It was so good I couldn't even imagine it being as good as it was. It does take some time to complete, but the presentation is flawless and the taste is fantastic.
Love it!!! Love it!!!!

I actually didn't have the vanilla beans, they were way too expensive so I just used a little more vanilla extract. I also didn't make this with the caramel/apple sauce.....it was still to die for. I made this for myself on my birthday last year and everyone loved it just as much as I did!
Wow!

This cheesecake is so creamy and flavorful. I've made many cheesecakes and this one will be added to my favorites! One piece of advice: Skip the caramel recipe and buy caramel sundae topping and drizzle over apples, saves time and the hassle.
Excelent!

This dish has a very good balance of flavors! It is a breath of fresh air compared to old style cheesecakes.

I altered it a touch. took out the walnuts from the crust ( I'm allergic ) and put in cinnamon. and used gran marnier instead of apple brandy, in the caramel sauce. It was a big hit with my friends.
too much juice

I made this cheesecake for a party this weekend following the recipe very carefully. I am an experienced cook and always follow first-time recipes with care. I found that when I added the 6 peeled and sliced apples to the carmelized sugar that had reduced to 1/2 cup, that the juice from the apples as they cooked caused the carmelization to be weakened and there was far too much juice at the end of cooking to put onto the cheescake. I had to strain the apples before doing this, reduce down the liquid to the desired amount and they were not really carmelized enough in my opinion. The caramel sauce I found very weak in quality. The cheesecake itself was good but the topping left something to be desired.
Christmas Eve fabulosity

After seeing this episode, I decided I HAD to make this cheesecake for Christmas Eve dessert. I read the reviews and was nervous, but the cheesecake turned out perfect. It is moist and smooth, no cracks (which I have had issues with in the past), and the taste is scrumptious. I should note that I didn't use the brandy as I had some non-drinkers at my table. So, I can't speak to that, but as for rest, YUMMY. My husband tested the apples before I put them on and decided that part alone was wonderful and could even make a slice of Wonder Bread taste good. He was thrilled at the whole package.
GREEEAAT!!

I thought there were few things wrong with this recipe which I made for family Thanksgiving. The brandy was too strong and also there was to much orange flavor in the crust. Other than that I thought it was great!

I have made this cheesecake three times now and everyone asks me for the receipe. I love the taste and texture. I have never found the muscovado sugar but use light brown sugar instead which seems to work well. I also prefer the carmel without the apple brandy but do like it in the apples. This is a great receipe, especially when you make small changes to make it meet your tastes!!
what's up with the texture?

Hmmm....I wasn't as impressed with this recipe as I was hoping. Cheesecakes are one of my favorite things to bake, so I was tempted to tweak it myself, but I didn't, I followed the recipe exactly. Except the apple brandy was the only thing that I was unable to find. The texture didn't turn out like a true rich cheesecake, it was like a firm baked custurd and the orange flavor was too strong against the apples. I loved the crust and the topping and would definatly do those again....on my own cheesecake recipe. The best things that I took away from this recipe: finding a delicious new sugar, great new crust and loved the brandy caramel!!
yum-mo!~

Not so good - dry and blah!

I followed the recipe EXACTLY - NO CHANGES. Unfortunately the curst tasted bitter and cheesecake itself seemed dry and not at all the rich cheesecake I was hoping for. My oven temp is fine (I tested it) - cheesecakes should be cooked at a lower temp. My gut told me this was way too high, but I followed the recipe anyway. I shouldn't have. The apples and carmel turned out well (thank goodness) because without it, the desert would have been unedible. Sorry Bobby - stick to the grill!
Muscovado Sugar

Muscovado Muscovado is a type of unrefined sugar with a strong molasses flavour. It is also known as Barbados or moist sugar. It is very dark brown in color, and slightly coarser and stickier than most brown sugars. Unlike most brown sugars, which are composed of refined white sugar ...

I have been cooking for 30 plus years and in all those years I have never heard of muscovado sugar. I think sometimes your chef's forget that most of the people trying out their recipes are every day house wifes as well as men to doing the cooking. People who are un famillar with these products and have no way of knowing what to use in stead... Just dumb here in TX
YUM!

This was fantastic. I didn't use Apple Brandy since it was so expensive. I just added some apple juice to the caramel. Rave reviews!

I thought this cheesecake recipe was awesome. Not only was it easy to follow but everyone is still talking about it. A true keeper. The only thing I altered was the apple brandy. I thought it was very strong so I opted to use less. I also served it with the apples and carmel on the side so people could apply their own toppings. It was a big hit!

I've never made cheesecake before and decided to try this one for my first attempt. It turned out fantastic! We had it for Easter dinner and my family raved about it. I didn't have what was needed to make the carmal apple topping so I just made a fresh fruit and glaze instead. My sister-in-law works in the kitchen of a fancy resturant and she said it was the best she'd ever had!
