Ingredients
1
can
Lucky Leaf Premium Apple Pie Filling
15
Pizzelle Cookies
crushed
3
tbsp
butter
2 (8)
oz
packages cream cheese
softened
1/2
cup
sugar
1
tsp
vanilla
2
eggs
1
cup
brown sugar
1/2
cup
corn syrup
1/2
tsp
baking soda
1/2
tsp
salt
1/2
cup
butter
1 1/2
cup
walnuts
coarsely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees while preparing the crust.
Crush cookies, or graham crackers, with a food processor and place in a medium bowl.
Melt 3 tbsp butter and use a fork to incorporate into the crushed cookies.
Firmly press the cookie mixture into a 9x13 pan.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, combine the cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Spread the apple pie filling over the baked crust.
Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the apples.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is set. (Don't wait for it to brown, watch for the center to be set and the edges to be golden.)
Prepare the caramel topping only after the cheesecake is out of the oven.
Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter to a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is slightly boiling.
Allow to boil for one minute without stirring.
Turn off the heat and immediately whisk in the salt and baking soda. (Be careful this will be hot!)
Carefully pour the caramel topping over the cheesecake.
Top with chopped walnuts.
Cut into bars as desired.
Notes
You can easily substitute graham crackers to make the crust or pecans instead of walnuts.
