Caramel Apple Sundae Cheesecake Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350° F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. You can slip a 9-inch round of parchment paper on the bottom and butter that too if you have one handy - it will help to keep the crust from sticking when serving. Wrap the bottom of the pan with 2 layers of aluminum foil or 1 layer of wide heavy-duty aluminum foil. The foil should reach ¾ up the height of the pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt together. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and stir with a fork until all of the dry ingredients are uniformly moist. Pour the moistened crumbs into the springform pan and use your fingers or the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to pat an even layer of crumbs over the bottom of the pan and just about ½-inch up over the lip of the bottom of the pan where it meets the side. (At this point, the crust can be covered and frozen for up to 2 months.)
• Place the pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack while you make the cheesecake. Reduce the oven temperature to 325° F.
• To make the apples: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, toss in half of the apple slices and cook, turning once, until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the apples with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and cook them, turning, just until coated, another minute or so. Scrape the apples onto a plate, wipe out the skillet and repeat with the remaining apples. Let the apples cool while you make the filling.
• Getting ready to bake: Have a roasting pan large enough to hold the springform pan at hand. Put a kettle of water on to boil.
• To make the filling: Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed, scraping down the bowl often, for about 4 minutes, or until it is velvety smooth. Add the sugars and beat for another 2 minutes. Beat in the cider, vanilla, and cinnamon. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the eggs one by one, beating for 1 minute after each egg goes in. Finally, beat in the sour cream and heavy cream, beating just until the batter is smooth.
• Pour about one third of the batter into the baked crust. Drain the apples by lifting them off the plate with a slotted spoon or spatula, and spoon them into the pan. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the apples. Cover with the remaining batter and, if needed, jiggle the pan to even the top.
• Dollop the remaining salted caramel sauce by the teaspoon in a random pattern into the top of the batter and then with a sharp knife, swirl the caramel around from dot to dot and in between.
• Place the springform pan in the roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
• Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, covering the cake loosely with a foil tent at the 45-minute mark. The cake will rise evenly and may crack around the edges, and it should be fully set except, possibly, in the very center. If the center shimmies, that's just fine.
• Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside. Stick the handle of a wooden spoon between the door and the oven to vent the oven. This will allow the cheesecake to set up a little as it's starting to cool down.
• Gently transfer the cake, still in the pan, to a cooling rack and let it cool to room temperature, then remove the foil (be careful as there may be some residual water inside from the water bath), and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours; overnight would be better.
• Run a blunt knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the crust, open the pan's latch and release and remove the sides. Slice into 12 to 16 slices and serve with extra salted caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE BAR

Steps:

• Grab your favorite 8 x 8-inch baking dish and spray it with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• While the oven is preheating, in a small bowl you are going to start to combine the ingredients for the crust. Mix your graham cracker crumbs, melter butter, and brown sugar with a fork. Make sure you mix it well!
• Now you are going to place your crust mixture into your prepared baking dish. Make sure you press it down gently with your fingers. With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese until soft and smooth in a bowl. This should take about 2 minutes.
• Add in the vanilla, sugar and egg. You are going to want to beat this mixture until it's smooth and thoroughly combined. Take your mixture and pour over the crust, spreading evenly.
• It's time to combine your ingredients for the apple layer. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and mix it well.
• Take your apples and peel, core and dice them into small pieces. You are going to mix this into the dry mixture and toss to coat. You will want to now evenly distribute over your cheesecake layer you put in the baking dish.
• Streusel topping time! In a medium bowl, combine your flour, oats, cinnamon, brown sugar and melted butter. Mix it all together until a coarse meal is formed. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over your apple layer.
• Bake for about 30 - 40 minutes until your streusel topping is golden.
• When your bars are ready, transfer your baking dish to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Then you will need to refrigerate them for an hour, sometimes more to set.
• I saved the best step for last! It's the caramel drizzle. In a microwavable bowl, melt the carmels in increments of 30 seconds, until smooth. You will want to allow them to cool slightly before stirring in the heavy cream.
• Drizzle with caramel sundae sauce topping before serving it up!

BAKED CARAMEL APPLE BLONDIE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Make the caramel sauce linked in the ingredients above and set aside to cool.
• 2. To make the apple blondie, prepare a 9-inch springform pan with a parchment paper circle in the bottom and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
• . Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• . In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until well combined.
• . Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk together until well combined.
• . Add the dry ingredients and whisk together until well combined. Fold in the chopped apple, then spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• . Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• . While the blondie bakes, make the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar and flour on low speed until well combined and smooth. Be sure to use low speed to reduce the amount of air added to the filling, which can cause cracks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• . Add the sour cream, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix on low speed until well combined.
• 0. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly to combine after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is well combined. Set aside until the blondie is done baking.
• 1. When the blondie is done baking, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). Remove the blondie from the oven and pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the blondie (I like to remove the blondie and wash the pan, then add a new parchment circle and re-spray the sides of the pan with non-stick spray before adding the cake blondie to the pan and adding the cheesecake filling on top, but you don't have to. I just think the sides come out nicer that way). 12.
• rap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil, then place the springform pan inside another larger pan. (See my tutorial for preventing springform pans from leaking. I also like to use a slow cooker liner.) Fill the outside pan with enough warm water to go about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. The water should not go above the top edge of the aluminum foil on the springform pan. 13.
• ake for 1 hour 40 minutes. The center should be set, but still jiggly. 14.
• urn off the oven and leave the door closed for 30 minutes. The cheesecake will continue to cook, but slowly begin to cool as well. 15.
• rack the door of the oven for 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake to continue to cool slowly. This process helps prevent cracking. 16.
• emove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath wrapping and refrigerate until firm, 5-6 hours or overnight. Once completely cool and firm, remove from the springform pan. 17.
• o make the cinnamon apples, combine the apples, lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and toss to coat. 18.
• dd the butter and cook apples on medium-high for about 15 minutes, or until at preferred softness. Set aside to cool a bit. 19.
• o make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. 20.
• rizzle some of the remaining caramel sauce down the sides of the cheesecake, then pipe the whipped cream around the outer edge. Finish it off with the cinnamon apples in the center, a little more caramel sauce, then serve. I recommend serving the cheesecake cold with the apples warm, but you can definitely store leftovers in the fridge and eat it all cold as well. The cheesecake should be well covered and refrigerated and consumed within 4-5 days or as long as the apples hold up.

CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang and spray with cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, and cut in the butter with two forks. Keep working until mixture is combined and pea-sized crumbly bits are present.
• Turn mixture out into prepared pan, hard-packing it with your fingertips in an even, smooth, flat layer to form a crust.
• Bake for 14-15 minutes, or just until set (set a timer). Remove from oven; set aside. While crust bakes, prepare the remaining layers.
• In a large bowl (same one used for crust is okay, just wipe with a paper towel), add all ingredients and beat with a hand mixer (or whisk vigorously by hand) until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes on high power; set aside.
• Peel, core, and dice apples and place in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and toss well to combine; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cut in the butter with two forks. Keep working until mixture is combined and pea-sized crumbly bits are present. If necessary, add an extra tablespoon or two of flour or oats for preferred consistency if mixture is loose.
• After removing pan with the crust layer from the oven, pour cheesecake mixture over the crust, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
• Lightly and evenly sprinkle the apples.
• Evenly sprinkle with the crumble mixture. It looks like a lot, but it sinks some while baking.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes (I baked 48 minutes), or until crumble topping is just set and very lightly golden browned. Place pan on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, evenly drizzle with (salted) caramel sauce.
• Allow bars to cool, in pan, on wire rack for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Cover with foil if cooling overnight. Don't slice bars too early because you'll have a literal hot mess and bars will likely fall apart. Prior to slicing, lift bars out using foil overhang, slice, and serve.
• Bars will keep airtight at room temp for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Optionally serve with ice cream.

CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the graham crackers, 1/2 cup of the walnuts and brown sugar in a food processor and process until finely ground. With the motor running, add the butter through the feed tube and process until the mixture just comes together. Spray the bottom and side of the pan with cooking spray. Pat the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until lightly golden brown and just set, about 8 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and let cool completely. Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and the orange zest in a food processor and process until combined. Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand fixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the orange sugar, remaining granulated sugar, and light muscovado sugar and beat again until the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time and mix until just incorporated, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the vanilla seeds and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the salt and heavy cream and mix until just combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Set the cheesecake pan on a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and fold up the sides around it. Place the cake pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot tap water into the roasting pan until the water is about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan; the foil will keep the water from seeping into the cheesecake. Bake until the sides of the cake are slightly puffed and set and the center still jiggles, about 55 minutes. Turn the heat off and prop the door open with a wooden spoon and allow the cake to cook in the water bath for 1 hour. Remove the cake to a baking rack and allow to cool to room temperature for 2 hours. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours until chilled through. Top with the warm apple topping, drizzle liberally with the caramel sauce and sprinkle with the remaining toasted walnuts. Serve additional sauce on the side. Apple Mixture: Bring apple juice, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil in a large saute pan over high heat and cook until slightly thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in the butter until melted. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized and soft. Add the apple brandy and cook until reduced by 1/2. Transfer the apples to a plate and let cool slightly. Apple-Caramel Sauce: Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat (do not stir), swirling the pot occasionally to even out the color, until amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes. While the caramel is cooking. Place the heavy cream in a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and keep warm. When the caramel has reached the desired color, slowly whisk in the heavy cream and salt and whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the apple brandy and vanilla extract. Keep warm.
