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.
- 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.
- 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.

TOFFEE APPLE CHEESECAKE (CARAMEL APPLE)
I originally saved this recipe because I like both caramel and apple, ok, and cheesecake (can't get past that!). When I tried it, dear goodness, I was hooked. This is a very wonderful dessert! Everybody I made it for loved it too! When you toast the nuts (I used pecans), toast some extra and spread a little bit on top of the...

Steps:
- 1. Combine walnuts and flour, stir in butter and press into bottom and a little up the sides of a 9" springform pan. Beat cream cheese fluffy, add condensed milk gradually, then apple juice (or 1/4 c apple juice and 1/4 c apple brandy). Add eggs and beat on low until blended. Stir in chopped apple, pour into pan and place on cookie sheet in case it overflows. Bake at 375 degrees until center is nearly set when shaken. 8" pan bakes 45-50 min. 9" pan bake 35-40 min.
- 2. Cool on wire rack 15 min, loosen crust from side of pan and cool an additional 30 min. Remove sides and cool completely.
- 3. Poach apple slices in boiling water for 1 min or until soft and drain. Chill cheesecake and apples (not topped on the cheesecake yet) at least 4 hours or overnight, overnight is best. Just before serving, arrange apple slices on top of cheesecake and drizzle with warmed caramel topping.
- 4. Note: I also added some additional pecans to the top, chopped up so as to be easier to eat.
- 5. To toast the nuts, spread in a thin layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees 11 min or until golden, stirring twice during that baking time. Be very careful to ensure the nuts don't burn!
Tips:
- Use a high-quality cream cheese that is at room temperature. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
- Be sure to press the graham cracker crust firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent it from cracking.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will also help to create a creamy and smooth texture.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving. This will help to ensure that the cheesecake is set and has a firm texture.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the cheesecake filling.
- For a more tart flavor, use Granny Smith apples in the caramel apple topping.
- For a sweeter flavor, use Fuji apples in the caramel apple topping.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use a regular lighter to brown the sugar on the top of the cheesecake.
Conclusion:
This toffee apple cheesecake with caramel apple topping is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy and smooth cheesecake filling is complemented perfectly by the tart and sweet caramel apples. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
