I created this dessert because of my love for caramel apples. The Cheesecake layer I created, is a no bake caramel cheesecake. The techniique gives it a richer flavor. I wanted the richness and consistency of a baked cheesecake with out baking. This cake has a Pecan crust, apples,and caramel. It is topped off with toasted pecans. I shared some with my neighbors and my family. We all love it. Enjoy!
