Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream room temperature
Apple Topping
  • 2 cups apples peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Caramel Sauce

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Prepare the Apple Topping
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Bars
  1. Spread the apple topping over the cooled cheesecake layer.
  2. Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
