Time 2h15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup sugar
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
6 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Position racks in center and lower third of oven. Place roasting pan on lower rack; fill halfway with hot water. Preheat over to 325 degrees F.
Grease a 11 - 12 inch spring form pan.
Mix crust ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Press into bottom of pan. Bake crust for 5 minutes.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy (3-4 minutes). Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add in cream, flour and vanilla. Stir in apple pie filling. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
While it is baking combine all topping ingredients until crumbs form. After the first 40 minutes of baking, sprinkle this mixture over cheesecake. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until center jiggles when pan is gently shaken. Turn off oven. Let stand in oven with door closed 1 hour. Run knife around edge of pan. Cool on a rack. Chill overnight.

Tips:

For the best streusel, use cold butter and flour. This will help the streusel stay crumbly and not turn into a dough.
If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the cheesecake batter.
To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath. This will help create a moist environment that will prevent the cheesecake from drying out.
Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly and make it easier to slice.
Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as caramel sauce, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

This caramel apple streusel cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The streusel topping adds a delicious crunch and the caramel sauce is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you're serving it to family and friends or enjoying it all by yourself, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit.
