Description

A delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and classic apple pie, this Apple Pie Stuffed Cheesecake is a rich and indulgent dessert perfect for holidays or special gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add sour cream and heavy cream to the batter and mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  5. In a saucepan, combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until apples are soft and mixture is thickened. Let cool slightly.
  6. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust. Add a layer of cooked apples, then top with the remaining cheesecake batter.
  7. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  8. Remove cheesecake from oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, top with remaining apple pie filling and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor contrast.
  • Cheesecake can be made a day in advance for best texture.
  • Wrap the pan in foil and place in a water bath during baking to prevent cracking.
