Caramel Pecan Cheesecake + Easy Caramel Recipe!
Oreo cookie crust, of course.
Cheesecake recipe via DULCE DELIGHT! I used Oreo cookie crust rather than graham cracker crust and I used my own caramel recipe.
Oreo Cookie Crust:
1 bag of Oreos ( about 35 to 40 cookies w white center removed)
1/3 cup of sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 pinch of salt
Crush cookies in a blender or food processor. Add sugar and salt and pulse. Slowly add melted butter.
Caramel Sauce:
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
6 tablespoons butter
Over medium heat melt sugar and stir constantly with a whisk. Once sugar is melted and becomes a nice amber color remove from heat, add heavy cream. Whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk for days! Once the caramel has stopped bubbling and cream is fully incorporated add salt, vanilla extract, and butter. Whisk, whisk, whisk. Refrigerate.
P.S. If you find that your caramel has a few sugar lumps strain it a few times using a mesh strainer and rubber spatula before refrigerating.

Lemon Curd
A versatile lemon butter used in everything from pies to cake filling to oat bars and tarts. In my opinion , the best way to eat is spread over toasted sourdough with a cup of coffee.
Ingredients:
3 eggs + 3 egg yolks
1 cup white sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch of salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
Combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until liquid becomes thick (12-15 minutes). Remove from heat. Liquid should be thick, lighter in color and able to coat the back of a spoon. Slowly add butter to the hot liquid and mix until butter is fully incorporated. Place curd into a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Apple Crostata
Apple Crostata recipe found HERE!
I added some lemon juice and a tablespoon of flour to the apple mixture for some extra flavors and to thicken the syrup. I also covered the crostata 30 minutes into the baking to avoid burning the outside.
