Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup caramel topping
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (8 oz) packages at room temperature cream cheese
  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
  • 1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling
  • 12 plus 2 tablespoons chopped pecans pecan halves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Reserve 3/4 cup of the apple filling; set aside. Spoon the remaining filling into the crust. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs and mix well. Pour this over the pie filling.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center of the cake is set. Cool to room temperature.

Mix the reserved pie filling and caramel topping in a small saucepan and heat for about 1 minute, or until spreadable. Spoon the apple-caramel mixture over the top of the cheesecake and spread evenly. Decorate the edge of the cake with pecan halves and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.

Have never made a cheese cake from scratch. thought it would be too hard. This was so easy and soooooooooooo good. My daughter said it was the best cheese cake she has ever had and she goes to "Cheesecake Factory" a lot. So sorry about all the trouble you have been going through. Sometimes we wonder why life has to be so hard, but things will get better. Just lost my husband few months ago, so I know how hard...Things are getting better.. Keep your chin up.

Mrs. Deen, I know that this has nothing to do with this delicious recipe. Just wanted to say I love all of your recipes. Some of the foods that you make I haven't seen since my grandmother passed. God Bless her. She was from Tennessee and would make some of the most delicious treats. I’ve tried to emulate her recipes for the longest time. My children and their friends love the bread and cookies that she taught me to make. The funny part of her teaching was there were no measuring cups involved. I’ve spent a lot of time putting her teachings on paper…lol. I found a few ideas on how to do that on your cooking show. I just want to thank you for everything you do on the show and for showing me that butter isn’t all bad after all… A really big fan Forrest.

This is my husband's favorite dessert. He has no idea how easy it is for me to make. I'm not much of a cook but I can make this with ease and it's virtually mistake-proof.
