Apple Pie Cheesecake

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a deep dish pie plate with the bottom pie crust.
2. With the mixer on high, combine cream cheese, ½ cup sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add in eggs and mix until combined. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust.
3. In a large bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, ½ cup sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Gently place apples on top of cream cheese mixture.
4. Top apples with a second pie crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits into the top of the pie.
5. Line a pan with parchment paper and place the pie on the pan. Cover loosely with a piece of foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the apples feel soft when a knife is inserted. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
6. Cool for 1 hour on the countertop and then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled with caramel sauce.
