Caramel Apple Crisp Cheesecake: Creamy cheesecake meets crunchy apple crisp. This decadent dessert is the best of both worlds!
When I think of my all time favorite dishes, they have:
a. A balance of flavors
b. Contrasting textures
c. Loads of sugar doesn’t hurt either 😉
This recipe features amazing flavors. Rich brown sugar, spicy cinnamon, and tart apples. It reminds me a lot of my caramel apple cheesecake. Except, there’s also a great contrast between the smooth creamy cheesecake, and the crunchy topping.
It would make a fabulous Thanksgiving Day dessert!

What do you think of this caramel apple crisp cheesecake?
I was very apprehensive with this recipe because there were no eggs and the cheesecake batter was thicker than other recipes. But I followed the recipe exactly as written. It was amazing. I am making 2 more. I always make recipes at home before making for others. This recipe was so simple and tasted amazing. One of the better recipes I have found. Try it, you will love it.
Yayyyy I’m so glad. Thanks for the review Pamela!
This cheesecake does not have any eggs in it? I am a little confused. All of the cheesecakes I have made require at least 3 or 4 eggs, many times even more. I don’t think I can rate the recipe before I have made it.
No eggs needed here Michele! I hope you try it! 🙂
This looks SO good and I think I’m going to make it for Christmas dinner, but I don’t have a springform pan. Will it work in a deep pie plate (obviously won’t release as a whole cheesecake, but I’d just plan to slice and serve more like a pie), but would there be any other issues I’m not considering?
I think that would be fine. I’ve made cheesecake in 9 inch cake pans before like you said just not as “pretty”.
Great flavours, looks and sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing ????
Thanks so much Lucy! <3
