Additional Notes:
I love cheese cake! I enjoy making them for my family and friends. While making baked apples for my granddaughter I realized had half a pan of them left over. I decided to layer them on the crust of the cheese cake I was preparing for an office party. The recipe was such a success with my family it didn't get to the office party. The cake was gone that night! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!Crust
