Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup finely chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
- Add Apples and Cinnamon: Fold in the chopped apples and ground cinnamon into the cheesecake mixture.
- Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
- Serve: Cut into bars and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream.
