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.

A Hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make it in a spring form pan instead of a pie pan so it feels more like cheesecake. I've fixed this for my office potlucks... several times, and there's never any leftover. Just be sure you don't make it with the fat free cream cheese because it will be runny.Read more

EASY YUMMY AND EASY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this two times and everyone loves it. My friends that do not even like apples still ate it. The only change I... would make next time is I would make my own crust to make it look a little more homemade and a little less store bought.Read more

Unusual but very tasty combo!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this twice for my family & friends. The first time I presented to anyone, they were a bit skeptical about the... combo of apples and cheesecake. After they took a bite out of the cheesecake they became instant fans of the dessert. It went over very well and has become a favorite to most who tried it. I now have to make them in secret if I hope to have more than 2 slices for myself! The key for me though was making sure I let it sit in the fridge long enough to get a good rich thickness to it.Read more

Now that's a cheesecake!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't know what to get my dad for Father's Day. So, I decided to cook him something sweet. My dad loves old fashion... pies, but I really didn't feel like messing with the dough and stuff. When I found this recipe, I thought it would be great; and it WAS!!! I also made this for people at work too, they loved it also. You know what, any pie filling would work great too; peaches, blueberry, or any other.Read more
