Dads Caramel Apple Cheesecake created by Marlene S.

My father loves Apple pie and cheesecake so I created this cheesecake recipe for him several years ago. It does take some time to make but it is well worth it.

ingredients

graham cracker crust
7 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ cups graham crackers, crushed
¹⁄₄ teaspoon cinnamon
cheesecake filling
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
apple filling
2 large granny smith apples, sliced
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cinnamon
¹⁄₂ teaspoon nutmeg
¹⁄₄ cup water
¹⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
brown sugar topping
¹⁄₂ cup light brown sugar, packed
¹⁄₄ cup flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter, cold
¹⁄₄ cup walnuts, chopped
¹⁄₄ cup caramel ice cream topping
whipped cream
1 pint heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla

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.
