Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Pour in melted butter and mix until combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples and 1/4 cup caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Let the cheesecake bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, drizzle with additional caramel sauce before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger apple flavor, you can lightly sauté the diced apples with a pinch of cinnamon before adding them to the filling.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before slicing for cleaner cuts.
