Since fall will be here soon, this Caramel Apple Cake Cheesecake is a perfect dessert to have any day. It would be great for the Thanksgiving holiday.
For Easter dessert, I made our Carrot Cake Cheesecake. It was the most raved about dessert that I have ever made. I seriously got a big head over that glorious cheesecake cake. Since it was such a hit, I was anxious to create a fall version. So… Caramel and Apples it was!
I have hit another home run with this cheesecake cake. The flavor combinations were spot on. I am looking forward to making it a few more times this fall.
I used my Homemade Caramel in the Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting and it worked perfectly. I added freshly grated apples to the cake mixture and then topped with some store bought apple pie filling. I planned to use my own Homemade Apple Pie Filling but someone ate it on me when I was not looking. I am going to assume my son was the one who did that, lol.
I am going to toot my own horn and say this dessert was AMAZING. The entire family and my neighbors agree. There was not even one piece left to enjoy with my morning coffee.
This Caramel Apple Cake Cheesecake is so simple. Do not let the ingredient list scare you off. It actually comes together so easily and tastes so much better than a store bought. Plus it is so much better than anything you could purchase.

This looks heavenly. I love caramel apples and now you’ve combined them with cheesecake. Kill me over from sweet tooth overload (which is a good thing.)
Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you again when we open our doors on Friday at 12 AM EST.
Wow, wow and WOW!
I love all these recipes but the cheesecake is crazy inviting!
