Apple Cheesecake with Caramel Sauce

I saw this recipe on Facebook, on Kaire Köök's page (post here; in Estonian), she herself got the recipe from Roy Fares' (choosing Swedish will let you see some recipes, choosing English will allow you to read more about him) book United States of Cake. He's a Lebanese-Swede and has a cooking show on Swedish television. But no more babble, here's the recipe.
