  • “Loved this recipe!I used two premade pie crusts to make a double batch.I only needed to make a batch and a half of the filling to make it work.I also added carmel on top of the apples…amazing!”

  • “Oh what a treat this was!My sister and I went apple picking and got some Macintosh apples..

  • “This was my very first cheesecake!It was amazing!My bf is now constantly harassing me to make it again.Thanks for making my first cheesecake a success.”

  • “This was a very good cheesecake recipe.I made it as written except I didn’t have any shortening, so I used another tablespoon of butter.Thank you for posting this recipe.”

  • “This turned out absolutely delicious… a perfect cheesecake with a wonderful layer of apples on top.I’ve tried a similar recipe which had a graham cracker crust, but I think this crust is better because it doesn’t compete with the flavor of the apples.This definitely goes into my favorites. I can’t wait to make it again actually ! Not important, but the only things I did differently from the instructions was… I added the sugar and cinnamon to the apples before baking the apples 15 minutes… and I cut the apples into thin slices and then into smaller, more bite-size pieces. “

  • “This is a great tasting cheesecake.You shouldn’t need to follow normal precautions for cheesecakes to prevent cracking – this is quite wet when it cooks.I found it needed to cook for 10+ minutes longer than recommended.”
