Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars with Streusel Topping

Can you beat a dessert that has a jar of caramel sauce drizzled on top?



Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars with Streusel Topping

2 cups of flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 sticks softened butter
2 (8 oz) cream cheese (at room temp)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
3 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
one jar of caramel sauce

In a bowl combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Press into a 9x13 pan sprayed with PAM. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Beat together cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth, add the eggs and then the vanilla.
Pour over warm crust.
In a small bowl combine the apples with 2 Tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg...
spoon evenly over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with the streusel mixture.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until set. When it is cooled drizzle with the caramel sauce,
and I store it in the fridge...it is best cold!
