Caramel Apple Cheesecake with Pecans
Ingredients
  • 1 (21 ounce) can LUCKY LEAF® Premium Apple Fruit Filling
  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup caramel topping
  • 12 pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
Next, take a portion of the apple filling - approximately three-quarters of a cup - and set it aside for later use. Transfer the remaining apple filling into the graham crust, leaving a small amount of space around the edges.
3
Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth consistency. Continue to blend the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated.
4
Add eggs one at a time, beating them into the mixture until it is well combined and there are no visible lumps.
5
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the apple filling in the crust, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
6
Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake until the center of the cheesecake is set, which should take around 35 minutes.
7
Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, move on to the final steps. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved apple filling and caramel topping.
8
Stir the mixture constantly until it reaches a spreadable consistency, which should take approximately one minute.
9
Spoon the warm apple mixture over the cooled cheesecake and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
10
Decorate the edges of the cheesecake with pecan halves and sprinkle a layer of chopped pecans on top to complete the look.
11
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least two hours, or until you are ready to serve it.
