Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake
This is one of my new favorite desserts ever and the perfect way to start off Apple Week!
This week my bloggy BFF, Julianne from Beyond Frosting, and I will be bringing you all the apple recipes you’ll need for fall! Get ready, because we’ve got some awesome recipes planned.
And before I go any further, I want to thank everyone who read, commented, emailed, etc in response to my post on Friday. Thank you so much for the support. I’m trying to respond to everyone, but haven’t been able to get to everyone yet, so know that I appreciate it SO much!
So this weekend was quite nice. Funny enough, I ended up picking apples at an apple orchard, which I’d never done before. Quite the perfect lead-in to apple week, don’t you think? We aren’t too far south of the mountains – about an hour – so the drive wasn’t too bad. I didn’t have to drive, so that made it even better. 🙂
And since I’ve already done all the baking for this week, I get to just eat all the apples. Apples have been my snack of choice recently and I got a variety of apple types, so it’ll be fun to try them all. My bag actually broke trying to fit in just one more apple type we found on the way out. Oops!
The orchards were beautiful too. Nestled right in the mountains. It’s amazing the number of apples there were. It made me want to round up a bunch of horses and bring them in the orchard to eat all the discarded ones off the ground. Weird, right? For some reason the animal I think of feeding apples to is horses. I think we fed some horses apples when I was a kid. I guess it stuck. 🙂
I can’t even enough to explain to you just how good this cheesecake is. I want to eat it every day. The blondie alone is the jam. It’s got plenty of tasty spices and apples baked right in. It’s chewy, not too heavy and absolutely delicious. The only thing that could make it better is topping it with no bake caramel cheesecake.
Even I was surprised at just how good this caramel cheesecake is. So smooth and creamy. And sometimes caramel as a flavor can be hard to get to really come through in something like a cheesecake, but this caramel flavor comes through perfectly! I used the easy caramel sauce that I posted a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. The chewiness of the blondie with the smoothness of this cheesecake is a killer combo.
I topped with cinnamon apples and even more caramel, because why wouldn’t you? It’s irresistible.
I took it over to my brother’s house the other night when we were having dinner over there. Initially everyone but the hubs turned it down. In fairness, they hadn’t seen it yet. Then I brought a slice down to the basement for the hubs and my brother immediately changed his mind. By the time he came upstairs, my sister in law (still in the kitchen) had gone from wanting just one bite to try it, to eating an entire piece and telling everyone they had to try it. “Restaurant quality,” she said. There was lots of moaning going on – the sign of a job well done.
So yea, you definitely don’t want to miss out on this Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake. It’ll rock your socks off.

Ingredients
APPLE SPICE BLONDIE
- 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups (216g) brown sugar, unpacked
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 1/2 cups (195g) flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp apple pie spice
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup (79g) chopped apple (about 1/2 an apple)
CARAMEL CHEESECAKE
- 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (72g) brown sugar, unpacked
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce*
- 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream, cold
- 5 tbsp (44g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
CINNAMON APPLES
- 1 1/2 apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tbsp (56g) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup (29g) powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Notes
- I definitely recommend this easy caramel sauce. It firms up in the fridge, which helps your cheesecake filling firm up. If you use a store bought caramel sauce, it’ll likely be soft and pourable when cold, meaning your filling won’t firm up as well.
- Instead of homemade whipped cream in the filling, you could use 4 oz of Cool Whip.

hi! this looks amazing! i really want to make it. i have a silly question! this recipe calls for ground cinnamon and cinnamon – does that mean cinnamon sticks? i couldnt find anything in the spice aisle that just said cinnamon:) thank you so much, have a nice day.
I’m sorry that was confusing. It’s all just regular cinnamon. I think it says “Ground cinnamon” on my containers of it. But no cinnamon sticks – just the regular cinnamon. 🙂

Thanks girl! 🙂
Hey!
I just found your fabulous blog and I LOVE it. My cake is in the fridge right now. I want to eat it tomorrow. Would you recommend putting the apples on top now an letting them cool overnight on the cake or should I rather put them on top tomorrow?
Thank you so much for all the inspiration!
Next thing on my list is the Snickers Cheesecake.

I’m so glad you found me! The apples will be great either way, but I do kind of like them fresh and warm. Totally up to you though. Enjoy it and the Snickers one when you make it! 🙂
On your recipe you call for Cool Whip, but in your video you make your own whipped cream. Which one of my am I supposed to use?
I’m sorry, I thought that had been updated. I will update it shortly. However you can use either. I used Cool Whip way back when I wrote the recipe originally, but now would probably use homemade whipped cream. If you want to make the whipped cream as shown in the video, use half a cup plus 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Gorgeous! I have been seeing a lot of yummy cheesecake posts lately. And this certainly is up there with the most tempting ones. Now I need to get my cheesecake fix soon. Say what? Feeding apples to horses? Sounds like you had a dope childhood! I’d be too terrified to even try! But I have always wanted to visit an apple orchard. Maybe this year…
I don’t suppose you can share the oven temp for baking batter?
It’s 350 degrees. Sorry about that!
Don’t forget that if you’re using a dark springform pan to cook it at 325. Same amount of time, just lower temperature. This caramel sauce is soo easy and comes out perfect and delicious! I made this for my bridge club and they couldn’t believe it wasn’t store bought! Thanks for the fabulous recipe which will become a family favorite.
