For the best flavor, use high-quality caramel sauce. Homemade is always a great option! Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, to find your perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend half of the apples into a puree before folding them into the cheesecake mixture. To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a tablespoon of lemon juice after chopping. This salad can be made a day in advance. Just add the graham cracker crust right before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
