Additional Notes/ Tips:

  • Upgrade your caramel: You can use store-bought caramel sauce, but homemade is always better.
  • Make it ahead: This cheesecake actually improves after a day in the fridge, so it’s great for prepping.
  • Apple variety: Choose tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweetness of the caramel.
So there you have it—a cheesecake that’s so good, you’ll be the talk of the town (or at least your kitchen). Enjoy the sugar rush!
