- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup sugar for the filling
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups diced apples peeled and cored
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup caramel sauce plus extra for drizzling

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture into prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined.
- Spread diced apples evenly over the crust and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Drizzle caramel sauce over apples.
- Pour cheesecake mixture over apple layer and spread evenly.
- For the streusel topping, combine flour, brown sugar, and oats in a small bowl. Cut in butter cubes using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle streusel evenly on top of cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cheesecake is set and streusel is golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before drizzling additional caramel sauce over the top and cutting into bars.
Notes
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for a firmer texture. Experiment with different types of apples for varied flavor.
