Caramel Apple Cheesecake

No Bake Caramel Apple  Cheesecake is bursting with apple flavor!

Graham Cracker Crust

2 sleeves cinnamon graham crackers 1/4 cup light brown sugar 12 tablespoons salted butter

Cheesecake Filling

2 bars cream cheese  1/3 cup light brown sugar 2 teaspoons apple pie spice 1 cup full-fat sour cream 3/4 cup apple pie filling  8 ounces Cool Whip

Topping

1 cup caramel bits 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1¼ cups apple pie filling 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Place the graham crackers and light brown sugar into a food processor and process until thoroughly crushed and in fine crumbs. Add in the melted butter and blend until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Firmly press the crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure to tap it down and firmly press it into an even crust layer.

Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, light brown sugar, and apple pie spice with an electric hand mixer until light, fluffy, and smooth.

Beat in the sour cream and mix until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the chopped apple pie filling and the Cool Whip, with a rubber spatula, and mix gently just until combined.

Spread the filling into the springform pan over top the crust and smooth out the top. Cover it well with plastic wrap and place the cheesecake inside the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight is best.

Prepare the topping by heating the caramel bits and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds and stir until it's smooth. 

Stir the chopped apple pie filling and pecans into the melted caramel mixture until combined.

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan rim and scoop the topping onto the top of the cheesecake.
