This Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake is quite a treat! You can even get a head start with this cheesecake recipe since it takes about four hours to complete. But look on the bright side—it only takes three steps! The apple topping on this cheesecake adds a special touch. Reminds me of the classic filling of an apple pie, but here, instead of a filling, it’s a topping!

One of my childhood friends always brought sliced green apples to school. There wasn’t a day where she was caught without them. The part that I remember was that she was never eager to eat her sliced apples. I saw it on her face, she needed excitement. If only her mother knew of this Over-The-Top Apple Snack, maybe my friend could have avoided that glum look on her face. The mixture of Cream Cheese and brown sugar will totally change how you eat apples. Learn from my friend, add some pizzazz to your apples and seize the day!

If it’s a hot summer day and you don’t feel like standing near anything that lets out heat, such as the oven, then you’ll really appreciate this No-Bake Lemon Peach Pie. People that have made this pie said it was “really easy and very tasty.” Sounds good to me! The last thing that I want to do in this heat is watch a pie bake in the hot, hot oven. If you feel like this no-bake pie needs to be firmer, just put it in the freezer for a while.

After a long night of studying I used to love getting smoked salmon on a toasted bagel with cream cheese, green onions and dill. Now that I’m a little bit older and actually have a reason to have guests over for a little entertaining, Classic Smoked Salmon & Dill Appetizers sounds real appetizing. Since this appetizer only takes about five minutes, you can totally multi-task in the kitchen.

Have you always wanted to make your own ice cream sandwiches? I know I have! I didn’t think it would be this easy too and I definitely didn’t know Cream Cheese is one of the key ingredients. Plus, where’s the ice cream? This recipe doesn’t call for any! Some people that have made this tried out different instant pudding flavors and added their own toppings as well, so get creative! Remember to freeze for about four hours before enjoying these frosty Pudding Grahamwiches!
