Apple Pie Cheesecake Bars
Prep 30minutes
Cook 1 hour
These Apple Pie Cheesecake Bars are to die for! We're talking apple pie, cookies, and cheesecake all rolled into one. Top these bars with some salted caramel for a totally divine cheesecake dessert!
Ingredients
For Crust
▢6 tablespoons butter (melted)
▢2 cups graham cracker crumbs
▢3 tablespoons sugar
▢½ teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
For Cheesecake Filling
▢16 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
▢3 large eggs
▢¼ cup sugar
▢¼ teaspoon salt
For Apples
▢2 large apples (peeled, cored and sliced in small pieces)
▢½ teaspoon cinnamon
▢3 tablespoons sugar
Optional Toppings
▢caramel sauce (I used store bought)
▢sea salt
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper, spray it with cooking spray first so that the parchment paper sticks to the pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together the melted butter, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, sugar and the graham cracker crumbs. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press evenly. It might be easier to use the bottom of a glass to press the crumbs down to make a thin layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl mix together the apples with the sugar and cinnamon.
To the bowl of your mixer add the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and pinch of salt. Beat on medium high for at least 5 minutes or until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold in the prepared apples into the cheesecake mixture.
Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust in the baking pan. Level the top off with a spatula.
Transfer the baking pan to the oven and bake uncovered for about an hour or until the filling is set. Let the cheesecake cool completely before slicing into it.
Once the cake is cooled slice it into squares. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
These little bars will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just store in an airtight container or wrap them up tightly before popping them in.
Cooked cheesecake also freezes really well, just place the bars fully cooled and uncovered on a pan in the freezer and allow to freeze entirely. Remove them and wrap fully in plastic wrap and aluminum foil till ready to eat. This method should ensure the cheesecake bars lasts 3 months.
