Got this recipe off a BBQ forum. Made it this past weekend. Was a big hit with the family. ENJOY!!!!
2 lbs cream cheese, 4 blocks (room temperature)
3 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup caramel (ice cream topping works)
1 cup ground pecan
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup brown sugar plus 1/4 cup reserved
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tbsp butter
3 apples, peeled and thinly sliced.
pinch cloves
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp heavy cream
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
- Combine 1 cup brown sugar, ground pecans, graham cracker crumbs in a mixing bowl. Pour melted butter and incorporate well.
- Spread crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of a spring form pan and up the sides to desired height. Bake crust for 10 minutes and allow to cool before adding filling.
Meanwhile
- Using an electric hand mixer, combine cheese, sugar, caramel, flour until smooth. Add vanilla and incorporate. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until mixture is smooth. Reserve.
- In a large non-stick fry pan, saute apples, butter and remaining brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg on medium until tender. Place a layer apple slices in bottom of pan spacing about an inch apart.
- Spoon 1/2 cheese mixture into springform pan and spread evenly. Add another layer of apples followed by the remaining creamcheese mixture. Top with remaining apples.
- Return fry pan to heat and add water, stiring to deglaze sugars from pan. Allow sugars to begin to boil gently then add cream and stir to incorporate cream. Continue to stir until caramel thickens. Allow to cool slightly.
- Spoon caramel over apple topping and place in a ready oven. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes until centre of cake is almost set. Cool before serving.
