Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie
Ingredients
- This recipe for a tempting caramel apple cheesecake pie has a couple of parts that are worth the effort. Start by making the crust; then, prep the toppings before diving into the filling. The layers of flavors in this pie are worth the steps!
- Ingredients:
- Crust:
- 1 and 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheet graham crackers or 180 grams)
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (50 grams)
- 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter (85 grams)
- Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup of old-fashioned whole rolled oats (28 grams)
- 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (24 grams)
- 3 tablespoons of packed light or dark brown sugar (40 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of cold, cubed unsalted butter (28 grams)
- Apple Layer:
- 2 cups of peeled, thinly sliced, and chopped apples (250 grams)
- 1 tablespoon of packed light or dark brown sugar (13 grams)
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 2–3 tablespoons of salted caramel (plus more for topping)
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 12 ounces of softened full-fat brick cream cheese (339 grams)
- 1/2 cup of packed light or dark brown sugar (100 grams)
- 3 tablespoons of sour cream (45 grams)
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (5 milliliters)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and have your salted caramel ready.
- For the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Pat the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently. Bake this for 10 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, make the streusel topping by mixing oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cubed butter until crumbly. Chill this mixture.
- Prepare the apples by tossing them with brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- For the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla, and egg, beating until combined.
- Assemble the layers: Spread the cheesecake filling into the crust, then layer with prepared apples and drizzle salted caramel. Sprinkle the chilled streusel topping evenly.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake the pie for 45 minutes. Tent it with foil to avoid over-browning.
- Let the pie cool for an hour at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days before serving. Drizzle more salted caramel before serving for that extra delight.
- Remember, the first slice might not look perfect, but the taste is all that matters! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer for later indulgence.
