Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
Filling
  • 4 8 ounce blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Topping
  • 2 large or 4 small apples peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons caramel topping
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease an 8 inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. 
  4. Press the mixture into the springform pan and up sides, I like to use a measuring up to help me press the crumbs up the side.
  5. In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat the cream cheese and sugars until smooth.
  6. Add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla and flour.
  7. Mix again until just combined.
  8. Place in oven and bake for 60 minutes until center is set and just barely jiggly.

  12. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the apples soften and the sauce thickens.
  13. Pour the topping over the cheesecake.
  14. Top with whipped cream and more caramel.

Notes

Storage & Freezing Tips

FRIDGE

Store leftover caramel apple cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Serve chilled with additional toppings and freshly whipped cream, if you like.

FREEZER

This caramel apple cheesecake can be stored in the freezer as an entire cake or as individual slices for up to 3 months. Wrap the cake or slices with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container, preferably without any toppings that could spoil in the freezer.
Thaw the frozen cheesecake in the fridge overnight, add fresh toppings, and enjoy chilled!
  • You can use a 9 inch springform pan as well.
  • You can use canned apple pie filling to save time.
  • You can use regular or cinnamon graham crackers for the crust or even gingersnaps.
