Ingredients For Carmel Apple Cheesecake

– Sweetened Condensed Milk, we use it to make Instant Pot Caramel (Dulce De Leche), using the Instant Pot of course!

– Graham Crackers, for crust for the Instapot caramel apple cheesecake recipe.

– Pecans, we LOVE adding pecans to the apple cinnamon cheesecake crust. You won’t feel them, but they make crust better! No pecans? You can buy them by clicking here. You can also replace them with walnuts, or skip them altogether and add half of an additional Graham Cracker instead.

– Unsalted Butter for easy apple cheesecake crust.

– Cream Cheese, you can’t make Instapot cheesecake without cream cheese, right?

– Heavy Cream, makes the apple cheesecake fluffier and lighter.

– Sour Cream

– Eggs

– Apples, for apple topping for cheesecake. You can use green apples or red apples. Slightly tart apples would be best.

Why Should You Make Caramel Apple Cheesecake in the Instant Pot?

You should make this delicious fall apple cheese cake in the Instant Pot, because it it easier than making it in the oven! When you make caramel apple cheesecake recipes in the oven, you have to put the cake pan inside a roasting pan filled with water, when you put the cake in the oven. You need to do that, because cheese cake needs to cook in a moist environment, and the only way to do that in the oven is by submerging the cake pan in another pan filled with water.

When you use your Instant Pot to cook cheesecake, you already need to add water to the Instant Pot. And doing that, creates a naturally moist environment for baking your apple caramel cheesecake.

Pro Tips For Making Caramel Apple Cheesecake

Any apple will do for the carmel apple cheesecake topping. We tried a few different ones, and they all taste great with some butter and cinnamon.

If your apples are very sour, or if you prefer a sweeter topping for your cake, then you can add a bit of sugar to the apples while you cook them.

Like pecans on top of your cheesecake? You can also add chopped pecans on top of the apples on the cake.

Don’t want to make your own Instant Pot Caramel (Dulce De Leche)? You can top the cake with any caramel sauce you would like.
