Quick Apple Cheesecake

This is another great summer-time dessert that is quick and easy to make!


1 Keebler Ready Crust 2 Extra Servings Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling, chilled
2 T toasted chopped pecans
1 T lemon juice
Dash salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 t vanilla
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Mix until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Place crust on baking sheet; pour in filling. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean. Spread out apple filling evenly on top of cooled cheesecake. Garnish with toasted pecans.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes


TIP OF THE DAY: When cream cheese in on sale, buy several packages and keep them in your refrigerator because they have a pretty long expiration period. There is alot you can do with cream cheese so I always try to keep some on hand.
