I've been looking for this type of recipe for a long time, and I am very happy I found it. I used this recipe as a base and made some modifications to it. I used 1.5 times the cheesecake recipe (i.e., 3 packages of cream cheese). I microwaved the apples for 2 minutes and then layered them on top of the cheesecake. I then mixed together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkled it on top of the apples. I added a streusel topping to the cheesecake, and I served it with caramel sauce drizzled on top. It came out great! I took it to our office lunch, and the whole thing disappeared in no time. I recommend using green apples; using sweet apples would be sweetness overkill. Everyone commented that this cheesecake had an appropriate level of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

These were okay. Flavor wasn't bad and they were very easy to make, but I wasn't wowed by them. These definitely do need to get removed from the pan immediately as they will begin sticking. Contrary to everyone else's experience about having better results if they refrigerated before baking, I actually had a worse result. I made a batch and immediately baked, and they held their form fine. I refrigerated the next batch for about 20 minutes, and these ones fell apart when I tried to remove them from the pan, and I even baked them an extra 2 minutes. I probably won't make these again.

I did not care for these at all. I took four bites and threw the rest away. The husband did not care for them either. I followed the recipe exactly, but I thought they were mushy and the flavoring was bad. Also, the cornmeal seemed a little unnecessary to me. I can't even think of a way to improve them, hence the 1 star.
