Drizzle it with a little caramel sauce and this pie will be so tasty that it should be slapped with a warning label. Caution – it will be impossible to eat just one piece!
A Favorite Dessert Mashup
Why choose when you can have it all?
A delicious combo of homemade apple pie and rich creamy cheesecake. It’s best made ahead of time so it can set. Make homemade crust or pour the filling into a premade crust. Skip the top crust and try a crumble topping like we put on our Dutch apple pie.
Ingredients for Apple Pie Cheesecake
CRUST: Flaky Homemade Pie Crust is great but a pre-made refrigerated pie crust works just as well. If making a homemade pie crust, use a ceramic pie plate and there is no need to pre-bake the crust. APPLES: The best apples to use for baking include Honey Crisp or Granny Smith. Apples should be peeled and sliced. CHEESECAKE: Just like our homemade cheesecake, this layer needs just 4 ingredients. Cream cheese, vanilla, sugar, and eggs. Simply mix and pour. VARIATIONS: Sprinkle with a few pecans, and drizzle with this homemade easy caramel sauce. Or, serve with ice cream! Skip the top crust and use an apple crumble topping instead.
How to Make Apple Pie Cheesecake
Here’s a quick overview of the recipe below:
Tips for Perfection
Cream cheese should be softened to room temperature. Don’t overmix the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the apples are thinly sliced so they cook through. Be sure to cut slits in the top crust so that steam can escape. For a glossy crust, combine one egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Wisk until combined and brush over the crust. Depending on your apples, the pie can sometimes bubble over so place the pie plate on a pan lined with parchment to save my oven any mess.
Storing Leftovers
This pie can be left in the refrigerator for 5 days. Cover only the cut portion of the pie with saran wrap. Covering the crust may make it soggy. This cheesecake can be frozen. Make sure it is cool before freezing! Wrap it in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for 6 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
