Apple pie filling and melted caramel topping are a sublime variation to cheesecake.
DELICIOUS!!!!! I used 1 jar of home canned apples and made it into "apple pie filling" by following the recipe called Apple Pie Filling (skipped cooking the apples as mine were already cooked). This made enough filling for TWO cheesecakes. I also made my own graham cracker crust and added chopped pecans to the crust. It was an easy recipe to follow. If followed exactly, it will not fail! The pecans in the crust AND mixed into the caramel topping were the two things I added that made this even more outstanding than as written! Seriously, use pecans!! The best part is this cheesecake doesn't have to set overnight! It was ready to eat 2 hours after coming out of the oven. 1 hr to cool to room temperature, add topping, cool in fridge 1 more hour, DONE.

I made this, using a bit more of the caramel tipping on top, and it was a big hit for our large family's Thanksgiving dinner!! I will definitely be making it again!!
This was the first "real" cheesecake I ever made. My family loved it!! I did make one change: I omitted the pecans. We aren't really nut people, and it didn't make sense to me why they were there in the first place. Otherwise: super easy and VERY yummy!!
This is a delicious cheesecake. I found I needed to adjust the baking time to 45 - 50 minutes. Best to watch for doneness as oven temps varying.
For my diabetic husband I make this with home made pie filling using sugar substitute and Smuckers sugar free caramel topping. It is delicious.
Awesome! My 9 year old daughter & I made this Cheesecake for a party this week. Everyone at the party raved about how perfect and yummy this dessert was. They said it was better than restaurant quality and I would have to agree. The recipe and the tips were easy to follow. The 2 comments or instructions I would add : Do not use a mixer when mixing the cream cheese mixture it starts to curdle; we stopped the mixer and used a whisk which did break down most of the curdles and smoothed out the mixture. We also placed a glass dish with 2 inches of water in the rack underneath the cheesecake when it was in the oven to keep the cheesecake top from cracking which I lis a technique that came from cooks country. This cheesecake is a winner and a keeper!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a complete hit. No crumbs left on the plate. I used Grandma Ople's apple pie recipe for the filling with granny smith apples. Complete hit! Pretty much followed the recipe to a T, this was a winner for sure!
This was a big hit!! I sprinkled skor bits on the top instead of using nuts and everyone loved it!!!
this cheesecake had the perfect consistancy, not too soft not too hard and was super delicious!! The only thing I did wrong was I used caramel syrup and really needed to be caramel topping so it would be thicker but it was still one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had
Pretty good - next time I will chop the apple filling into small pieces instead of leaving in slices. Was really well received for how little prep time is involved.
I made this for my partners Birthday he loved it. It was very easy to make. I did take out the pecans my partner is not a nut person. I really like baked cheesecake allot better than instant ones. You could even just take the cake recipe and do with it what ever you want.
AWESOME....The only thing I did extra was sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar over top of the apples before the cream cheese filling was added and I used 1 regular package of cream cheese and 1 lower fat version! Everyone loved it! Will definitely make again!
Turned out perfect. We used our own canned apple pie filling and it was a perfect change to your ordinary cheese cake topping.
My college-age daughter requested that I make cheesecake the first time her boyfriend was visiting our family. I found this recipe and selected it because I had a very busy day with limited time. Everyone loved it! It was so easy, but so delicious, and not too heavy. I will definitely make it again.
This dish was amazing. I only left out the pecans because my daughter is allergic. Otherwise I made it exactly like it said. I took one to my in-laws for Mother's Day and it was a big hit. I will definitely be making this again.
This is AMAZING! I love it. The texture of the cheesecake itself is super creamy and delicious! I followed the recipe perfectly, but I added chopped walnuts and almonds because I didn't have the pecans.
This was a hit! I did make a couple of adjustments though... I used the Sauteed Apples recipe from this board instead of canned - just can't bring myself to used canned more than necessary. I also toasted my pecans first, and only put strategic blobs of topping on the top of the pie rather than cover the whole thing. Lastly, I melted a few caramels and added a tsp. or two of milk, to make the caramel drizzle for the top. This is a rich and delicious dessert!
Just finished making this recipe twice, it was easy to make, looks great and have tasted it before so I knew it was going to be great. Made it exactly by the recipe, wouldn't change a thing...
I came across this recipe after seeing a $30.00 8 inch caramel apple cheesecake in one of those holiday catalogs. Never made cheesecake before, and it came out perfect! Next time I'll use less apples so I can taste the actual cheesecake more.
The only thing I did differently was make my own graham cracker crust. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and it is deeeelish! I made it for Thanksgiving and my family is always asking me to make it for other family get togethers!
Excellent! I used one package Neufatchel and one regular cream cheese and it worked very well. Doubled the vanilla and made my own crust (Graham Cracker Crust I from this site). Super easy and delicious. Thanks! :)
I made this with a little twist...instead of the 9in pie crust I use the mini crust so everyone could have their own little pie and it was VERY good. However as one of the other viewers said the cheescake mix could use just a tad bit more sweetness maybe a tablespn or two. I will be making again and again. Thanks for sharing.
Everyone that tried it LOVED it! I think that the cheese cake layer itself needed to be a tad sweeter. It's good the way it is but I might trying adding a little more sugar to the cheese cake layer next time.
Sometimes I do not read the directions to a recipe! Yep, this was one of those times - I put the topping on "before" I baked it - so my cheesecake took longer to bake. Easy recipe and tasted great (in spite of my directions mistake). Will look forward to making it the right way too.
We really liked this cheesecake! Made exactly as written and was very happy with the results. It's a great fall recipe! :)
Delicious! I made this as stated except i used Luck's Fried Apples instead of Lucky Leaf. I also cooked them to soften them a little. It turned out perfect. My husband and I loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!
Absolutely luscious. I made my own apple pie filling from Pink Lady Apples and took this to My daughters house for our supper dessert. All three of her young boys loved it..........and so did the rest of us. Oh, I left out the nuts because of the little ones eating it.
I've made this twice and the first time I made it I cut it to small peices and deep fried it! That was heaven!
This was a really good recipe. Took longer to bake than what is called for, I baked mine for about 50 minutes, but very good taste and fairly easy to make. Recipe worth keeping.
I made this tonight and the end result was perfect, and the taste was Delish!!! The only difference I made was instead of mixing last of the apples with the topping in the sauce pan. I warmed them separately, plus added caramel drizzle as a last decoration. My husband really, really loved this cheesecake! Its easy to make and we definitely will be making this again. I did have to cook a little longer than the recommended 35 min. to set. (ovens vary)! Great dessert for church and family functions! Thanks for posting!!!
This is amazing! My daughter, who does not like caramel, loved it. I also made my own graham cracker crust with pecans in the crust and baked it in a springform pan. It was very simple to make and incredibly delicious.
First time making this and it came out Awesome. I had friends over and they loved it. I did make some changes, I made 3. 8oz cream cheese instead of 2, I wanted it very rich. Added ground cinnamon to the mix. Also added evaporated milk to caramel sauce! I will make it again, it did have a crack in it but when I added the filling it wasn't noticeable.
I am dairy intolerant and gluten intolerant so I needed to make a few adjustments but I am happy to report that this is a great recipe. I substituted soy "cream cheese" and made a gluten-free graham cracker crust. Did need to increase the baking time to 45min but it turned out spectacular! Thank you for sharing.
Best cheesecake ever! I made it exactly as the recipe called for with two changes: The store only had salted caramel topping which was awesome in this and I don't like nuts on cheesecake so I crushed up a SKORS bar on it.....This is a great recipe! I let it set for 24 hours in the refrigerator......Thank you for posting!
I’m not a cheesecake person, but I went to a Bakers Square and tried an apple cheesecake. It was wonderful. As the years pasted I’ve tried to find a recipe that is equivalent to this cheesecake. And finally this is the one. My family always raves about this cheesecake. I making 4 for Christmas.
Super good! Added some chopped pecans to my Carmel topping and sprinkled some on top. Delicious. So easy to make! This was a huge hit at the office. I've been making this cheesecake for a year now and I now make my own crust and caramel. I also make caramel frosting and use that on the sides. Everyone loves this whenever I make it.
My very first cheesecake and it was a big hit. I love pecans and caramel together. Absolutely delicious!
I will definitely make this again the only changes I made was i added more extract and sugar. I also didn't add pecans
This is a terrific recipe. Folks ask for it any season of the year. I eventually modified my version just a little. I toast the pecans (chopped) then put some butter and salt on them as they come out of the oven. I crumble some ginger snap cookies in the bottom layer of the crust, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some of the toasted nuts - then the apples. As for the apples, the Lucky Brand is my favorite - try it. I do remove some of the sauce while chopping the apples. Sometimes I throw a Tbsp of the sauce into the cream cheese; or just throw it away. The amount of vanilla is good, but I double it and add a drop or two of fresh lemon juice if one is nearby. After baking, I add the remaining toppings plus extra chopped pecans, more crumbled gingersnap cookies, loads of the caramel drizzled into a pattern... then top with a little coarse sea salt. My family goes crazy for this. Thank you for the recipe. My changes sound like a lot, but they're just little adjustments from a terrific combination.
Sorry.. no photo… it was gone too quickly! This is an amazingly delicious cheesecake! My only variation was I didn’t decorate with whole pecans.
This is a fantastic recipe. Followed the recipe exactly and it was great. After the first time I added a bit more caramel and more pecans as we love nuts. It is a good recipe for those who like pies and those who like cheesecakes.
Best cheesecake out there. I do change a few things but the best change is for the Carmel. I use worthers chewy's and melt them down a little cream. Best Carmel out there.
Fantastic and easy recipe! I omitted the canned filling and made my own spiced apples on the stove and it's worked beautifully! Thank you for posting! I had a very happy fiancee on her birthday!
Made this recipe into muffin size to take to a potluck dinner. Eliminated all the cutting and serving. They were we a huge hit! Mission accomplished ... not one to take home to tempt me
I made this into a regular springform style CC.... I made my own crust with a mixture of ground up churro cinnamon almonds and sea salt cashews...unsalted butter and crushed vanilla wafers... I reserved some of the ground nut mix to decorate edges of top just before I "de-ringed" it! I also used an old fashion tater masher on the apple filling before used it, made the chucks smaller and much prettier as a finished top...
This is AWESOME! I skipped the pricey pecans and used a store bought chocolate graham cracker crust and it was sooo rich!
I left the pecans out for the sake of budgeting. I thought this was great but got mixed reviews. My husband (who is not a fruit fan anyway) spit his out, my picky 5 yo would not eat it bc it was brown, my 2 yo and 9 yo LOVED it. Definitely worth trying! I also chopped up the apples for the top a little finer so that they would fit the top better. And the cheese cake portion does make more that needed! It makes almost double of what you need.
This was super delicious but I made mine with all (scratch) ingredients . I didn't have any canned apples or ready made pie crust so I think that made it even better.
i made this for a holiday party and it was a big disappointment. i i added 10 minutes of baking time (which was unusual because my oven tends to run hot) and even though the cheesecake seemed to be set, ithe middle had a runny consistency. it looked pretty with the topping on it but the taste was off. i followed the recipe exactly.

I decided to make this for my daughter's 16th birthday since she requested cheesecake. I didn't have apples so substituted pears. I decided to make my own graham cracker crust, since I had crumbs in the pantry and I used a springform pan. Turned out amazing.
