Dreamy Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie is a delightful dessert featuring a creamy cheesecake filling with layers of sliced apples and a drizzle of caramel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Layer the Apples: Fold in the sliced apples and ground cinnamon gently. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the apple layer in the pie crust.
  6. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  8. Drizzle Caramel: Once chilled, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the pie before serving.
  9. Serve: Cut into slices and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
