HOW TO MAKE CARAMEL WITHOUT BROWN SUGAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that heats up, grab a baking tray and line with non-stick baking paper.
• Mix the white granulated sugar and softened butter. We recommend using an electric mixer for this step. Keep mixing until the mixture appears fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract and combine with the mixture. Add an egg and fully combine. Then add the second egg and whisk again.
• Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl. Add the baking soda and salt into this dry mixture too.
• Now it is time to combine both mixtures. For the best results, use an electric mixer. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet. Try not to overwork the mixture as this can have a negative effect on the final outcome of your bake.
• Pour in the chocolate chips and ensure that they are as evenly distributed as possible.
• Scoop out even amounts of the cookie dough and put onto your lined baking tray. Leave a two inch gap between each cookie. This will keep them from baking into one huge cookie!
• Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
• Put cookies onto a cooling rack and serve when fully cooled down to room temperature.

Steps:

• 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.
