Ingredients

1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 cup caramel topping
12 pecan halves, plus 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Reserve 3/4 cup of the apple filling; set aside. Spoon the remaining filling into the crust. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs and mix well. Pour this over the pie filling.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center of the cake is set. Cool to room temperature.

Mix the reserved pie filling and caramel topping in a small saucepan and heat for about 1 minute, or until spreadable. Spoon the apple-caramel mixture over the top of the cheesecake and spread evenly. Decorate the edge of the cake with pecan halves and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.

I have made this one over and over again. The first time I made it, I over did the sugar and could not figure out why my... cake was not firm...LOL. Just about through those grown children into a Sugar Coma, but they loved it. I quickly printed the recipe so that would not happen again. It is a BIG favorite in my family. My Son In Law request several times a year and does not share with anyone, so I always make 2. GREAT JOB PAULA!!!Read more

Hastey but Tastey!

Really a nice cheesecake! I love apples and I had already been entertaining the idea of apples for a topper on cheesecakes,... but when I read the others' reviews, I tried it and am so glad. It doesn't take long to prepare, but it is so good that others think you have slaved in the kitchen, because I got rave reviews. Thanks, Paula, you've never let me down!Read more
