This went over well for our Christmas dessert this year. The cheesecake came out creamy and the apples and caramel made it more yum. I couldn’t find caramels no matter where I looked, so wound up using cowtail caramels found at the Dollar Store of all places. However, it didn’t taste very caramel-like to me so for the top used leftover homemade salted caramel leftover from another dessert which gave more of a wow taste. Also didn’t use the chocolate shavings. Great tasting cheesecake that was the perfect ending to our Christmas dinner! Thank you, Teresa, for contributing to our Chrismas. Made it for FYC.
