Homemade Caramel Apple Cheesecake on a graham cracker crust, filled with sweet, juicy apples and creamy caramel. It’s the perfect finish to any fall meal!

Happy September Kenarry readers! I’m Ashlyn from Belle of the Kitchen and I’m back for another yummy edition of Ideas for the Kitchen, a blog series where Carrie and I swap recipes once a month. Since fall is just around the corner and temperatures will start to dip soon, we thought it would be a great time to celebrate the fruit of the season: apples! Today I’ve brought a deliciously decadent Caramel Apple Cheesecake. It’s the perfect way to finish any meal this fall!

If you’re looking for Carrie, you can find her over on my blog today where she’s sharing her recipe for Caramel Apple Coffee Cake.

THe Perfect Fall Dessert idea

I know that when most of us think of fall, apples are right there at the top of the list. When I was growing up, I remember going on a field trip every year in September to a local apple farm up in the mountains. We did all of the fun, traditional farm activities including a hay ride, petting zoo, and apple taste testing. That was also where I milked a cow for the first time!

That is one of the things I miss most about home, and just the mainland in general! When we move back stateside (we are currently stationed in Hawaii) I want to take our kiddos to all of the fun places that I used to visit as a kid. There’s also a big pumpkin patch (Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville, GA) that I daydream about taking my kids to every fall. It has some of the biggest pumpkins I’ve ever seen, and I enjoy seeing all of my friends’ photos of their little ones there each year. Though I must admit, I am a tad bit envious!

But that’s enough about pumpkins. We will save that for next month. Hint hint…

As far as apple desserts go, this one is sure to please! It’s full of juicy apples, creamy caramel, and the CRUST! It is so good. And please, y’all, if you make this cheesecake, you HAVE to make the crust that goes with it. See, the crust has a little hint of cinnamon making it the perfect base for this caramel apple cheesecake. Plus, it’s really simple to make. Just make it. I promise you’ll be glad you did.

Homemade crust ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need from the store. The exact amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

This is what I used in the crust. This is one of the easiest crust recipes and it turns out perfectly.

  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Butter
  • Cinnamon

Caramel Apple Cheesecake ingredients

  • Cream Cheese
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Eggs
  • Apple Pie Filling
  • Caramel Topping
  • Cinnamon
  • Cinnamon Almonds

Can you make your own caramel?

If you have the time and enjoy baking, then make your own caramel sauce. It’s basically butter, half and half, vanilla extract, and brown sugar and tastes amazing. This recipe from Natasha’s Kitchen tastes better than store bought.

    Apples are nearing the end of their season here in Ohio. I’ve been experimenting with a new variety of apple (new to me, anyway) called Honey Crisp. They are super crispy and juicy, while being slightly tart and slightly sweet. The perfect baking apple. My favorite dish so far? Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars. But, our kids love cheesecake, so I’m sure they would love this Caramel Apple Cheesecake. Thanks for sharing and giving me yet another recipe to try!
