Instructions

  3. Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to set.

  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.

3. Prepare the Apple Pie Topping:
