Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups diced apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in 1 cup of sugar and continue to beat until fluffy.
  4. Add in the vanilla extract and then incorporate each egg one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples, chopped pecans, and half of the caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for one hour.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  10. Before serving, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and garnish with whipped cream if desired.
