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.

Description
This Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake is pure caramel apple heaven, I kid you not. It has layers of apple spice blondie and no-bake caramel cheesecake, and it’s topped with cinnamon apples and caramel sauce!
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.

This looks sooooo yummy. I am going to make this Friday for my second moms 86th birthday party! Thank you!
Thanks Laurie! Enjoy it and happy birthday to your mom!
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it out this weekend! Can I ask what type of apples you used?
Thank you! I used Red Delicious apples.
It looks amazing….but what is apple pie spice? I have never seen in it the grocery store (in Canada).
Thanks!
I believe it’s cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. You could just add some cinnamon and/or nutmeg instead.
This cheesecake left the table speechless at Thanksgiving dinner last night. There are just no words to describe how crazy delicious it is, and super impressive in presentation to boot!
I did change it up a little bit, since I have celiac and can’t eat what is no doubt a scrumptious blondie bottom. I found a chickpea based gluten-free blondie recipe to sub in that also had peanut butter in it. The flavour combination was out of this world, between the caramel, apples and peanut butter!
Also, for the caramel, I had salted caramel left over from a salted caramel apple pie I’d made a week prior, so I used that instead, making it a *Salted caramel apple blondie cheesecake.
It was just divine, so rich and decadent. Your recipes have me in awe, I can’t wait to bake my way through them!
Thank you so much Joanne! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it! 🙂
I have made this twice and it is delicious, but the cheesecake does not get solid at all. Please advise on the amount of cool whip. Is it half of a 8 oz container of cool whip or a half cup of cool whip to make the 4 oz”s? I think this may be my problem.
It should be 4 oz, which is half of an 8 oz container of Cool Whip.
This cheese cake was amazing!! A flavor explosion in your mouth. I will defiantly be making this again!
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks Deb!
Hey Lindsay! I am drooling over this delicious blondie cheesecake! I would just like to know if I can substitute the cool whip for anything else. Granted I am living in Brazil and there is no cool whip over here. Thank you for your time and your delicious recipes!
You can replace it with homemade whipped cream.
Holy cow does this look good! Now excuse me while I clean the drool of my desk!
Thanks Julie! 🙂
Im going to make this for my dad’s bday. I had a silly question. How messy is this gonna be when I gotta put the blondie back into the springform pan? Im hoping it holds the shape well! 😀
It shouldn’t be messy at all. The cheesecake gets plenty firm in the refrigerator so it holds its shape completely.
