Delicious caramel apple cheesecake bars with a graham cracker crust, perfect for cozy get-togethers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl and press into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the chopped apples and cinnamon gently into the cream cheese batter. Pour over the crust, drizzle with caramel sauce, and swirl it through the batter.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the center is set. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
Notes
For best results, chill the bars completely for clean cuts. You can add nutmeg or ginger for extra flavor.
