Perfect Bake® recipe


Caramel Apple Cheesecake

"I was never a fan of cheesecake until I started baking my cheesecakes without sour cream. Removing that bitter tasting ingredient from the recipes made all the difference in the world.

"My Caramel Apple Cheesecake has a cult-like following. I convert cheesecake haters every day with one thin slice of my cheesecake. Plus, I make the graham cracker crust from scratch. This dessert is a crowd favorite and has been requested more than any item that I bake. In this recipe I use Duncan Hines Original Apple Pie Filling instead of baking fresh apples in the oven. The cheesecake comes out perfect every time."
