Equipment

1 9 x 13-inch baking dish
1 hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment

Ingredients

Crust

2 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs about 28 full graham crackers
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup melted salted butter

Cheesecake Layer

2 (8-ounce) packages softened cream cheese
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Apple Layer

2 (21-ounce) cans apple pie filling

Topping

1 (8-ounce) container thawed whipped topping
caramel sauce for drizzling
graham cracker crumbs for topping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Crust

Combine 2 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¾ cup melted salted butter in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan using a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until fragrant and the edges are golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely before topping it with the subsequent layers.

Cheesecake Layer

Add 2 (8-ounce) packages softened cream cheese, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust and chill it in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes before topping with the apple layer.

Apple Layer

Chop the apples from 2 (21-ounce) cans apple pie filling before spreading the pie filling evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer, being sure to get as much of the pie filling off the cutting board as you can.

Topping

Spread 1 (8-ounce) container thawed whipped topping evenly over the top of the pie filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Just before serving, drizzle caramel sauce and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top.

Notes

Make Ahead and Storage

Make Ahead: Prepare the crust up to 1 day ahead; keep covered at room temperature until adding the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate: Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill up to 5 days. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
