Milky Way Caramel Apple Cheesecake was born! Can I get a witness? Hallelujah!

Cook Time

1 hr

Graham Cracker Crust

2 cups cinnamon or regular graham cracker crumbs (about 15 whole crackers)
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Caramel Cheesecake

2 pkgs (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (300mL) Eagle Brand® Dulce de Leche Caramel Flavoured Sauce
4 eggs
1/3 cup All Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Caramel Apple Milky Way Topping

2 Granny Smith apples, cut into chunks or slices (or whatever your flavor of choice is)
2 tablespoons butter
1 to 1-1/2 cups caramel topping or sauce
10 mini size Milky Way Caramel Apple Candy Bars cut into quarters

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F
Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter, press firmly onto bottom of 9” springform pan.
Using a mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Gradually beat in 1 can of caramel sweetened condensed sauce until smooth.
Add eggs, flour and vanilla and mix well.
Pour mixture into baking pan.
Bake in preheated oven 1 hour. Cake should be a little jiggly in the middle. (It will continue to cook as it cools.)
Cool thoroughly and then chill 4 hours or overnight.

15 minutes before serving

Cut up 2 apples and sautee in butter for 5-7 minutes, and let cool.
Spoon and scatter cooled apples on top of cheesecake and then drizzle the caramel on top of the apples.
Add chopped Milky Way Caramel Apple Candy bars on top and serve immediately.

Notes

If this dessert is one you plan on not eating all at once, I would recommend adding a teaspoon or two of lemon juice to the apples, so they don't brown and make sure you seal the dessert well.
Or you can sautee the apples a couple minutes longer.
