Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/176 degrees C.
Reserve ¾ cup of apple pie filling from can and set aside.
Spoon remaining pie filling onto pie crust
In large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Add eggs and beat.
Beat until combined and smooth.
Pour cheesecake batter into pie shell, over apple. *I ended up removing about ¾ of a cup after I took this photo, as it was too full. You can use the excess to make mini cheesecake pies.
Test to see if pie is done by inserting an instant read thermometer (see Top Tip) * the cheesecake should jiggle a little in the middle.
Bake 35 minutes or until centre is set. Cool
Mix reserved apple pie filling and caramel sauce in saucepan. Heat about 1 minute (over medium low heat) on stovetop.
Arrange apple slices (wedges, thin) around outside edge of cheesecake.
Spoon caramel sauce/apple mixture onto cheesecake and spread evenly.
Decorate with pecan halves on apple wedges. Sprinkle centre with chopped pecans and arrange apples as shown, if desired (or your decorating preference).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve cold.
Optional garnish: Top with whipped cream or Cool whip.
