Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup melted butter

24 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 cup apple pie filling

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup caramel sauce

Red candy glaze or icing for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, then press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, apple pie filling, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 50–55 minutes until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Allow cheesecake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  8. Drizzle red candy glaze or icing over the top to create the poison apple effect.
  9. Slice and serve.

Notes

Add a layer of crushed caramel candies between the crust and cheesecake for extra sweetness.

Use cinnamon graham crackers for a spicier crust.

Top with chopped nuts for added texture.

Substitute apple pie filling with pear or pumpkin for a different fall flavor twist.

Swirl caramel sauce into the cheesecake batter before baking for a marbled effect.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cheesecake can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight before serving.
