Recipe Instructions

To prepare crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until set.

To prepare filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove apples from filling, scraping off filling with a small spatula. Place a single layer of apples over bottom of crust.

Combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed until blended and smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating at low speed just until blended. Blend in juice concentrate.

Pour mixture into crust, being careful not to disturb apple slices. Bake for 40 minutes or until center is almost set.

Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate 3 hours. Sprinkle with peanuts; drizzle with caramel topping before serving.

Yield: 14 servings.

Tester's note: Excellent recipe. The apple slices added a nice tart flavor and good texture to the rich cheesecake.
