Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 3 large Granny Smith apples, diced
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  3. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly into the graham cracker crust.
  4. In a skillet, sauté the diced apples with cinnamon over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes.
  5. Allow the sautéed apples to cool, then arrange them on top of the cheesecake filling.
  6. Drizzle generously with the caramel sauce.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your filling. You can prepare this dish 24 hours in advance, but add the caramel drizzle just before serving to maintain the best appearance. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
