FAQs
Can I use store-bought apple pie filling?
You can go the store-bought route, but making your filling lets you control the flavor and spice you like. Nevertheless, make sure you have four cups of filling.
What's the secret to a creamy cheesecake filling?
Softened cream cheese and thorough mixing are critical. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before using a stand mixer or electric handmixer to mix it.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
You sure can. Cheesecake pies often taste even better once they spend quality time in the fridge. Make it up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate until it is time to serve.

This recipe is so innovative and better than a regular apple pie. Cheese is too good for a tangy flavor. 🙂

Can you use already made cheesecake?

No. You can serve an already made cheesecake with apple pie filling, but you can't do the crisp topping because it would over bake the already baked cheesecake.
