Instructions
1-How to Prepare the Perfect Salted Caramel Apple Pie Cheesecake: Creating this salted caramel apple pie cheesecake is straightforward and rewarding. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and preparing your ingredients to make the process smooth. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line it with parchment for easy release later.
2-Crust preparation: For the crust, combine 3 cups cinnamon graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp melted salted butter. Press the mixture into the pan and bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool. This step sets a solid base for your cheesecake.
3-Apple filling and cheesecake batter: Next, prepare the apple filling by cooking 4 medium sliced baking apples with 3 tbsp salted butter, 1-2 tbsp apple cider or water, 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, and spices until tender. Thicken if needed and cool it down. For the cheesecake batter, beat 32 ounces cream cheese until creamy, add 1 and 1/2 cups sugar and 4 eggs one at a time, then mix in the remaining ingredients.
4-Assembly and baking: Pour half the batter into the crust, layer with the apple filling, and add the rest of the batter. Use a water bath for baking to keep it creamy. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 30-50 minutes until set, then cool gradually.
5-Additional Steps for Toppings: After chilling, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the dry ingredients and cutting in 1/4 cup cold butter, then bake until golden. Make the salted caramel sauce by melting 1 cup sugar and adding the other ingredients. Finally, cook the apple topping similarly to the filling and layer everything on top.
