How To Make caramel apple cheesecake bars

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2
    In medium bowl combine, flour, brown sugar,salt and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
  • 3
    Press the mixture into a well greased 9x13 baking pan.
  • 4
    Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 5
    Place diced apples into a bowl and toss with sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • 6
    In a medium bowl,cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in the eggs until creamy and combined.
  • 7
    Spread cream cheese mixture over the crust and top with the apples
  • 8
    Make streusel mixture by combining all the streusel ingredients until crumbly.
  • 9
    Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the apples.
  • 10
    Bake for 30-40 minutes until cheesecake layer is done.(test for doneness with tooth pick (it will come out clean of cream cheese))
  • 11
    Remove from oven and let cool.
  • 12
    When cooled completely drizzle on the caramel topping.
  • 13
    These are ready to eat when they come out of the oven, but I prefer to refrigerate them for at least 3 hours to give the cheesecake layer time to set.
