directions

  • In a small bowl mix together ingredients for crust. Pour into a 9 inch spring form pan and press down. I use the bottom of a measuring cup. Set aside. In a medium sauce pan and ingredients for apple filling. Mix and cook on low for 10 to 12 minutes stirring occasionally. While your apples are cooking cream together cream cheese and butter for at least five minutes until light and fluffy. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and cornstarch mix completely. Add sour cream. Only mix until sour cream is combined. Do not over mix this will create air pockets in your cheesecake. Pour half of cheesecake mixture over the crust and layer with apples. Drizzle with a little caramel. Pour remaining batter over the top of the apples and sprinkle with brown sugar topping. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake in oven for an additional 15 minutes. Refrigerate for at least two hours. While cheesecake is chilling beat heavy whipping cream and 3 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to stiff peaks. After cheesecake is set up remove from pan and drizzle with remaining caramel. Decorate with whipping cream and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of two teenagers who loves to bake. I have been decorating cakes for eight years and enjoy a challenge. Creating new recipes is a hobby for me and I love to use my co workers as taste testers. The only problem is they expect something new every week. I love making party cakes for my friends and family members. The type of cakes that I don't enjoy making are Wedding cakes. I have made seven Wedding cakes to this day but they tend to be to stressful for me. I am always checking Recipezaar for new and exciting recipes to try. Thank you.
