JD'S APPLE PIE CHEESECAKE LOG WITH SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix diced apple, cold water, and lemon juice together in a small bowl; soak for 10 minutes. Drain.
• Stir cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice together in a bowl until smooth. Fold the diced apple into the cream cheese mixture.
• Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the center of a sheet of plastic wrap. Use the plastic to shape the cheese mixture into a log, wrap the plastic around the log, and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Cook and stir white sugar in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until melted, smooth, and taking on an amber color, about 10 minutes; add butter and stir quickly with a whisk until the butter is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately remove saucepan from heat. Slowly stream heavy cream into the sugar mixture while continually stirring with the whisk to incorporate fully; add sea salt and stir. Transfer the caramel sauce to a glass bowl and set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out pie pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into rectangles about 2 inches long. Arrange dough strips onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the dough strips with beaten egg. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar over the strips.
• Bake dough strips in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Spread pecans into a shallow dish. Unwrap cheese log and roll in the pecans to coat. Place coated log onto a plate and drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the log. Serve with the pie crust chips.

CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE PIE

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup brown sugar and butter in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Add apples and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Combine caramels and half-and-half in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; keep warm.
• Beat cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon together using an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add egg; beat on low speed until just combined.
• Stir 1/2 the caramel mixture into apples and pour into pastry shell. Sprinkle pecans over apples, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping. Fold remaining caramel mixture into cream cheese mixture; spread over pecans. Cover edges loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil; return to the oven and bake until filling is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Combine whipped topping and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; spread over pie just before serving. Sprinkle with reserved pecans.
