Caramel Apple Pie Cheesecake Bars are the perfect combination of two delicious desserts. A fusion of classic apple pie flavors and a traditional cheesecake packed into an easy-to-share dessert bar.

Ingredients

Scale

Layer 1 – Crust 

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold butter cubed

Layer 2 – Cheesecake Filling 

  • 2 8 oz packages softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, whisked at room temperature

Layer 3 – Apple Pie Filling 

  • 3 medium apples
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Layer 4 – Brown Sugar Oat Crumble 

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 stick cold butter cubed

Topping

  • Caramel

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix the flour, brown sugar, and cold butter together in a mixing bowl. Cut into the butter with a fork until the mix is well combined and crumbly in texture.
  3. Pour the crust mix into a buttered baking pan. Press down to compact the ingredients and form a crust—Bake for 15 minutes or until browned.
  4. Mix the cream cheese filling by adding 16 ounces of softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, sugar, and room temperature eggs. You can use a mixer for this step or hand mix.
  5. Cube 3 medium-sized apples as evenly as possible. Toss them in cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
  6. Make the brown sugar and oat crumble for the topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, and oats with more cold butter cut in.
  7. Layer the cheesecake filling on top of the crust, then the apple pie filling, and finally the brown sugar oat topping—Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Finally, remove the bars from the oven, drizzle caramel, and leave it on a counter to cool. Then, place them in the refrigerator for another hour or until ready to eat.

 

Notes

*These store well in the refrigerator, so I like to make them a day in advance to save time.
