This is one of my favorite desserts and I highly recommend it. These are the ingredients:
1 (21 once) can apple pie filling
1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
2 (8-once) packages cream cheese , at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 cup caramel topping
12 pecan halves, plus 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Reserve 3/4 cup of the apple pie 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 to 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.
