  • Preheat oven to 350º and butter and flour two 9" cake pans. Prepare red velvet cake batter according to box instructions. Divide batter among prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 32 minutes. Let cool slightly in cake pans, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, level out tops of the cake so they're flat (save scraps for decorating!). Make cheesecake layer: Line a 9" springform pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy and combined, 3 minutes. Add eggs, one a time, until combined. Add sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined. Pour filling into prepared springform pan and bake until only slightly jiggly in the center, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then transfer to the freezer to cool completely and firm up before assembling. Make cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, then add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Assemble cake: On a cake platter, place one red velvet cake. Top with cheesecake layer, pressing down firmly, then top with second red velvet cake. Using an offset spatula, frost cake with cream cheese frosting. Garnish with red velvet cake crumbs before serving.

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with two layers of aluminum foil, allowing the foil to come a couple inches up the sides of the pan. (This prevents water from seeping into the pan while the cheesecake cooks in a water bath.) Lightly coat the inside of the pan with cooking spray. Place the pecan halves and the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. Drizzle in the melted butter and process until well combined.  Press the crumb mixture evenly along the bottom and partially up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool. For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed, 2 to 3 minutes, until combined and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Lower the mixer speed and beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just incorporated. Beat in the pumpkin, sour cream, and vanilla until combined. With the mixer on low, beat in the cornstarch, spices, and salt.  Bring a pot of water to a boil for your cheesecake’s water bath. Pour the filling into the crust. Place the cheesecake in the center of a large roasting pan. Transfer the pan to the  oven and carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan. (The water should come about halfway up the sides of the pan).  Bake the cheesecake for 65 to 75 minutes, until the cheesecake is firm around the edges, but the center retains a slight jiggle. Turn the oven off, crack the oven door just slightly (you can use a wooden spoon to keep the door slightly open), and allow the cheesecake to rest in the oven for 1 additional hour.  Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath. Place the springform pan on a cooling rack until it cools to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours. When ready to serve, remove the sides of the springform pan and garnish the cheesecake with chopped pecans, caramel sauce or whipped cream, if you like.

  • For the crust: Prepare an 8-inch round springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap the outside of the pan with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 1/2-inches up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.  For the cheesecake: Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Arrange the apple slices in an even layer in the bottom of the cooled crust. Drizzle with the caramel sauce. Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and flour and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low until just combined after addition. Beat in the vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Spread the cheesecake batter an even layer over the apples. Place the springform pan in a roasting pan and carefully pour in boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake at 325°F until the center of the cheesecake is almost set and jiggles just slightly, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Carefully transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack. Remove and discard the foil. Let the cheesecake cool completely, about 2 hours. Cover and chill the cheesecake until firm, at least 8 hours or up to 1 day. For the topping: While the cheesecake is chilling, combine the apples, cinnamon and water in a medium microwavable bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the apples are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully uncover the bowl and pour off any liquid. Let the apples cool completely.   Remove the sides of the pan and transfer the cheesecake to a rimmed serving plate. Top with the cooled apples, then drizzle all over with the caramel sauce just before serving.
