" I read the comments about how large the cheesecake turns out. I decided to make it smaller so I used a traditional springform cheesecake pan and halved the filling (all ingredients) but made the crust and toppings in the same amounts listed here. I cooked it for 55 minutes just like the recipe said. The apple layer on top was thicker, but in a good way (probably dried out less than if it was thinner). I drizzled it with the caramel sauce right after it cooled. Awesome with whipped cream!"
