A rich and creamy cheesecake layered with sweet apple pie filling, topped with caramel sauce and crunchy pecans, perfect for fall or any dessert craving.

  • Total Time: 5 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups apple pie filling
  • 1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  4. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Spread 1 cup of apple pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture over the apple layer, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Spread remaining 1 cup apple pie filling over the top of the cheesecake.
  8. Drizzle caramel ice cream topping over the apple layer and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  9. Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving to allow it to set completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Let the cheesecake chill thoroughly to enhance flavor and texture. You can substitute pecans with walnuts if preferred.
