Dulce de Leche Apple Cheesecake Recipe
  • Prep: 40 min. Cook: 50 min.
  • Yield: 8 Servings
    •
40 50 90

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 package of graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 stick butter melted
  • For the Caramel Apple Filling:
  • 2 Granny Smith Apples
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Caramel syrup (optional)
  • splash of water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • For the cheesecake:
  • 3 8-ounce packages of cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup canned dulce de leche

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Line a nine-inch spring form pan with parchment paper.
  • For the crust:
  • Crush graham crackers in food processor. Add sugar. Slowly add in butter until mixture becomes moist, but not too moist. It should have a crumbly consistency. Pour the crust into the lined spring form pan. Using a metal measuring cup, spread the crust out evenly on the bottom and sides. Place in the oven and bake for ten minutes.
  • For the apple filling:
  • Peel, core, and slice apples into slices 1/8th inch think. Place the apples into a warm skillet with sugar and butter stirring mixture constantly. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil, add cream and continue to stir mixture quickly so that it does not seize. Use a splash or two of water to thin the mixture out if needed. The caramel apple mixture needs to pliable and does not need to harden. The apples are finished when they are fully cooked and the caramel turns a golden brown color, which takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the mixture when finished.
  • Once the cheesecake crust is finished, take the apple mixture and spread it out on top of the crust. Take caramel syrup and cover the apples if desired.
  • For the cheesecake:
  • Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, and flour on a high speed. Turn the mixer to low and add in eggs, one at at time. While keeping the mixer on low, add in milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Spread 3/4 of cheesecake mixture on top of the apples
  • Add 3/4 cup dulce de leche to your leftover cheesecake batter. Mix the dulce de leche and the cheesecake batter together on a high speed.
  • Take the dulce de leche/cheesecake mixture and place in the middle of the cheesecake batter. Using a butter knife, swirl the dulce de leche mixture into the cheesecake batter using clockwise strokes.
  • Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the sides are firm and the center is still giggly. Do not over bake the cheesecake, because this results in cracks.
  • When finished, loosen the cheesecake from the sides and allow it to cool completely. The cheesecake will need to be refrigerated for at least six hours. Yield: serves 8

    Notes: 

    Dulce de leche is a type of caramel typically found in the Hispanic foods section, or found near sweetened condensed milk. Canned dulce de leche works best with this recipe.
  • You can also bake the cheesecake in a water bath. If you do this, make sure to seal the spring form pan with several layers of tin foil before you pour your cheesecake batter in the pan. This helps protect the cheesecake and keep it dry. Once the cheesecake is ready to be baked, place it inside a large pan and pour hot water around the cheesecake in the large pan until the cheesecake is halfway submerged in the hot water. Bake the cheesecake at 350 degrees for one hour, or until the sides are firm and the center is still jiggly.
