Easy Apple Pie Cheesecake

Have a cook out or pot luck and need a dessert? Want to look fancy?  Want something quick and easy? This Apple Pie Cheesecake is your answer!

You will need…

1 can of apple pie filling (You can use any flavor pie filling, if you don’t really like apple. *Cherry would be really good.)

2 (8 oz) cream cheese (at room temperature)

1/2 cup of sugar

1 tsp of vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 graham cracker pie crust

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Start by mixing the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and eggs together. (*Use a hand or stand mixer to do this. I used a fork once and I couldn’t get the cream cheese smooth.) Once those ingredients are mixed together and smooth, set it aside.

Spoon 3/4 of the pie filling into the graham cracker pie crust, and spread out to cover the bottom. Then pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the pie filling.

Place the filled pie onto a baking sheet or shallow baking dish, and put it in the preheated oven. Before closing the oven, pour a cup of water (or enough to cover the bottom of the baking sheet) on the baking sheet, *this will keep the cheesecake from cracking.

Cook for 35 minutes. (Until the edges of the cream cheese filling start to turn a light golden brown.)

Let the pie cool for 30 minutes, then add the remaining 1/4 of the pie filling to the top of the pie. Place the pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving.
