How To Make caramel apple cheesecake bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

In medium bowl combine, flour, brown sugar,salt and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
Step 3

Press the mixture into a well greased 9x13 baking pan.
Step 4

Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Step 5

Place diced apples into a bowl and toss with sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
Step 6

In a medium bowl,cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in the eggs until creamy and combined.
Step 7

Spread cream cheese mixture over the crust and top with the apples
Step 8

Make streusel mixture by combining all the streusel ingredients until crumbly.
Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the apples.
Step 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))
Step 11

Remove from oven and let cool.

When cooled completely drizzle on the caramel topping.

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.
