Apple Pie Stuffed Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Apple Pie Filling:
4 cups apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Cheesecake Filling:
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
Topping:
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
2. Make the Apple Pie Filling:
In a large saucepan, combine apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat until apples soften, about 8–10 minutes.
Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir into the apple mixture. Cook until thickened. Let cool.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Beat in eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust.
Spread half of the apple pie filling evenly on top.
Add the remaining cheesecake filling, then layer the rest of the apple pie filling on top.
5. Bake the Cheesecake:
Wrap the pan in foil and place it in a larger baking dish.
Fill the baking dish with about 1 inch of hot water (water bath).
Bake for 70–80 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
6. Add the Toppings:
Drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
Garnish with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
