Directions

  1. Heat oven to 300°F. Wrap outside of 9- or 10-inch springform pan in heavy-duty foil. In small bowl, mix cookie crumbs and butter. Press in bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of ungreased pan.
  2. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave 20 caramels and 1/2 cup of the apple butter uncovered on High 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup apple butter; set aside to cool.
