Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with tin foil. In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 8 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs, sour cream, sugar and vanilla; beat just until smooth and creamy. Spread half the batter over the cooled crust. Drop the chopped apple pie filling by teaspoons over the cheesecake layer, then spread the remaining batter over the apples. Drizzle the caramel topping over the top, then swirl gently with a knife.
- In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients. Spread the streusel evenly over the cheesecake.
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 45-50 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool completely, then store the cheesecake in the fridge.
