Apple Cheesecake, a tasty apple pie filling makes this a delicious Fall Cheesecake Dessert. A Maple Caramel Topping makes it perfect.

is the latest cheesecake recipe I have made and I have to say it is the best yet!

It’s sort of an Apple Pie meets Cheesecake. And I have to admit baked cheesecakes always seem to taste better.

5 how to make cinnamon apple cheesecake, from cooking the apples to making the crust and putting it together

My eldest daughter had a flight to Rome and usually when she does she comes home for a visit, or as she says to eat!

But this time she came on the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, so we celebrated our own Thanksgiving. Unfortunately no turkey for us as the Italian does not like poultry of any kind. I know I know, weird!

So we went with a Pot Roast, Peas, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and Yorkshire Pudding. And of course Dessert had to be good!

And as far as I am concerned you can’t get much better than Cheesecake. So I decided I was going to make a cheesecake with my favourite fruit, apples.

I have seen other Caramel Apple Cheesecakes recipes but most of them used a can of Apple Pie filling. For one, no such thing available here in Italy and two it’s so easy to make your own and I believe so much tastier.

I actually used the apple filling from my Italian Apple Pie recipe and it worked perfectly. I also added some ground pecans in my cookie crust, because, well why not?

What you will need to make this Amazing Apple Cheesecake with a Maple Caramel Topping.

Springform Cake Pan  –   For most of my cakes I use a springform pan.

Pure Maple Syrup  –  I prefer real maple syrup instead of flavouring.

Hand Mixer –  I love my Bosch hand mixer I use it for everything.

Caramel Sauce –  Nothing like Caramel Sauce and Apples.

If you try no other dessert of mine this Fall Season I would love if you tried this Maple Caramel Apple Cheesecake and let me know if you loved it as much as we did. Enjoy!

      Can I use an “8” springform pan for this recipe?

      This looks amazing! Some questions before I jumpinto making this… do you leave the sides of the spring form pan on while chilling it? When its done I would like to transfer it to another plate without crumbling it to pieces or cutting it, will it slide off the bottom of the spring form pan on its own or will it be sticky? Is there something I should put between the crust and the pan to help? Do you happen to have a good recipe for the caramel? And lastly, when I put the toppings on will it melt the cheesecake. I’m wanting to make this as a gift so I’d like the topping to go on before I deliver it. Is this possible?

      Thanks!

        Hi Shanna, I would advise you to cover the pan in parchment paper, for easier removal. And I actually just posted a really good homemade maple caramel sauce https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/caramel-sauce/ . The caramel sauce should be cooled so it won’t melt the cheesecake, although it may be kind of messy in the box, what if you brought the sauce in a mason jar as part of the gift and they could drizzle it before serving? Hope that helps. And I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend.
