Indulge in the decadent fusion of fall flavors with this Taffy Apple Cheesecake Pie, a dessert masterpiece that perfectly balances creamy, sweet, and tangy notes. Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, a velvety cheesecake layer sweetened with brown sugar, and a topping of tender, caramel-drizzled apple slices, this recipe is pure comfort on a plate. The optional sprinkle of chopped peanuts adds a delightful crunch, evoking the nostalgic charm of classic caramel apples. Ready in just an hour and chilled to perfection, this pie is an irresistible choice for autumn gatherings, holiday feasts, or any time you crave a taste of caramel apple bliss.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan to form a crust. Set aside.
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and beat until fully combined. Spread this filling evenly over the prepared crust.
Arrange the thinly sliced apples on top of the cheesecake layer, overlapping slightly for even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the apples are tender.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. After cooling, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apples.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts (if using) on top of the caramel for added crunch and flavor.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set fully. Serve chilled and enjoy!
