More is Better

 Let's start by saying I will not be held responsible for you eating it all by yourself in one sitting! Sooooo good and decadent and easy to make! I used an apple wedger and still would again however I would then slice each one in half again. 1  (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened 1/2 c.  sour cream 1/2 c.  powdered sugar 1 tsp.  pure vanilla extract 1/2 c.  jarred caramel or dulce de leche, plus more for topping 1/4 c.  crumbled graham crackers 2 tbsp.  butter, melted 2 tbsp.  granulated sugar 1/2 tsp.  kosher salt Apples, thinly sliced, for serving In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and caramel until fluffy. Transfer to a serving bowl. In a small bowl, stir together graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Sprinkle over cheesecake mixture. Drizzle more caramel sauce on top if desired, and serve with sliced apples.

 This recipe came from Country Living but I originally saw it elsewhere with bratwurst which is the only way I would make this fall dish. It was really good - we prepared ours a little differently as we were camping and using a griddle for cooking. My only critique is we should have cooked the apple long -- or next time I would cut it into wedges not halved. Also notice we sliced brats lengthwise for a quicker cook! 1 tbsp.  olive oil 6  small sweet Italian sausage links (about 1 1/2 pounds total) (WE USED BRATS) 2  Pink Lady apples, halved 1/2  red onion, sliced 1/2  head red cabbage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices Kosher salt freshly ground black pepper 1 c.  fresh apple cider 2 tbsp.  fresh cider vinegar 1. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate. 2. Reduce heat to medium and add apples, cut-sides down. Scatter onion and cabb...
