Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
Crust
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
 2 sticks butter, softened
Cheesecake Layer
 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
 ¾ cup sugar
 3 eggs
 2 tsp vanilla extract
Apples
 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
 2 tbsp sugar
 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
 ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Streusel Topping
 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 ½ cup quick cooking oats
 1 stick butter, softened
Extra
 1 jar (12 ounces) caramel topping
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2

For the crust- In a medium bowl, mix together flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles pea sized clumps. Press mixture into a 9x13 pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.

Crust Mixture

3

For the cheesecake filling- In another bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar with a mixer until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined and pour onto crust.

Cheesecake Layer

4

For the apples- Mix the apples with the 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until coated. Sprinkle over the cheesecake layer.

5

For the streusel crumble- Combine the four ingredients. Using clean hands is easiest here. Sprinkle the crumble over the apple layer.

6

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until filling is set. (You can eat it warm, but this is the one fall dessert I enjoy chilled.) Before serving, warm the caramel topping in a microwave safe dish and drizzle over the bars. The contrast of the warm sauce over the cold dessert is heaven. Enjoy!
