Washington State Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie

Submitted by JanetB-KY

"With an ex b/f from Washington State who grew up eating LOTS of apples grown there, I have was at one point collecting more Apple recipes and this is one of the tastier ways to get in a serving of fruit, albeit certainly not low fat hehehe.This is a great family dessert. Creamy yet not too heavy and you can pretend it's good for you because of the Apple Pie filling."

Very sweet but tasty. I realized too late that I should have let the cream cheese come to room temp, because it stayed somewhat chunky- Guess I have to work on my cheesecake skills! Will make again!
