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.

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.
