Ingredients
- 1 package snickerdoodle or sugar cookie mix

- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups apple pie filling
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 jar caramel topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray (I use coconut oil).
Cheesecake Base
- Combine the cookie mix (snickerdoodle or sugar cookie), the cinnamon sugar packet, and 1 stick of butter. Cut the butter into the mixture so it's all crumbly and combined.
- 1 package snickerdoodle or sugar cookie mix,1 stick unsalted butter
- Add two cups of this mixture to your pie pan and press along the bottom and up the sides. Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes and then set aside.
- Melt the 1 tbsp of butter and add it to the rest of your crumble mixture, mix it with a fork until well combined, then set it aside.
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- 8 oz softened cream cheese,1/4 cup sugar,1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Add the vanilla and egg into the cream cheese mixture and mix again until well combined, then set aside.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract,1 large egg
Apple Pie Topping
- In a small bowl, add the apple pie filling and cinnamon. Mix together, then set aside.
- 1 1/2 cups apple pie filling,1/2 tsp cinnamon
Construct Your Cheesecake
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into your baked pie crust and spread along the bottom. Then, spoon the apple mixture on top of the cream cheese and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Allow pie to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, then transfer it to the fridge and all it to cool completely before cutting (times will vary).
- Drizzle caramel over the top before refrigerating, or after, or what the heck, BOTH!
- 1 jar caramel topping
