CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE BARS #bars #apple #dessert #cakes #healthy

These Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars have been stuck over 1.6 multiple times. These are a time tested cheesecake bar formula.

I can't trust it's the finish of September and I haven't posted any apple treats yet. That is crazy.

For me, September is about the apple!

I've been making this Paula Deen formula for a long time now and they've generally been great however they constantly required somewhat more cheesecake filling as I would like to think to coordinate the thick outside layer and plentiful streusel besting.

These Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars have a flaky shortbread outside layer, a straightforward cheesecake filling, and has cinnamon apples and a dark colored sugar streusel on top. Sprinkle caramel sauce on top when serving. I like Mrs. Richardson's caramel or whatever other brand that is on the thicker side.

INGREDIENTS

Crust:

•  2 cups all-purpose flour
•  1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
•  1 cup butter softened

Cheesecake Filling:

•  3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese softened
•  3/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
•  3 large eggs
•  1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Apples:

•  3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
•  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•  1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or 2 forks) until mixture is crumbly. Press evenly into a 9x13 baking pan lined with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Then add eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour over warm crust.
4. In a small bowl, stir together chopped apples, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon evenly over cream cheese mixture.
5. For the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. I like to really combine it by using my clean hands to thoroughly combine the butter into the mixture.
6. Sprinkle Streusel topping over apples. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until filling is set. Drizzle with caramel topping and let cool. Serve cold and enjoy! Make 16 servings.
