Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust and bake for 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, toss together diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Fold them into the cheesecake batter.
  • Pour the apple cheesecake mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Cool at room temperature for about an hour, then drizzle caramel sauce over the top and refrigerate for at least four hours before serving.
  • Carefully lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper, cut into squares or bars, and serve.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling. Avoid overbaking for a creamy texture, and refrigerate for optimal flavor melding.
