Homemade Caramel Apple Cheesecake
Ingredients
- CRUST:
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Sticks Butter softened
- FILLING:
- 3 - 8 oz packages Cream Cheese softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 3 Eggs

- 3 Granny Smith Apples peeled cored and diced into small pieces
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- TOPPING:
- 1 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Quick Oats
- 1 stick Butter Softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9X13 baking pan with aluminum foil. Be sure to leave overhang on all four sides.
- Add the flour and brown sugar to a medium sized bowl.
- Cut in the butter with 2 forks or a pastry blender until your mix is crumbly
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar and beat until smooth.
- Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, mixing to combine.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the baked crust.
- Add the apples, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon to a medium sized bowl.
- Mix together until apples are coated well. Then sprinkle the apple pieces evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
- To make the topping, add the brown sugar, flour, quick oats and softened butter to a medium sized bowl and combine well.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the layer of apples.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes. Watch for filling to set (I do this by slightly jiggling the pan).
- Allow to cool and then place in the refrigerator. I let mine set overnight.
- Remove from pan and cut into 16 even sized bars.
- Drizzle with caramel topping and serve.
 
Just looking at the picture of this Homemade Caramel Apple Cheesecake is making my mouth water! I can’t make this too often because I have to make myself walk away from it. It is that good! Just to be clear, I did not add in the time that this sits in the fridge to the prep time because that can vary to your preference. I left it in there overnight because it was late in the day and I didn’t want to stay up to wait on it.
One thing that makes this recipe much easier is using a pastry/ dough cutter. I just added one of these to my kitchen supplies a few months ago and I love it. You can see the one I have HERE!
Enjoy!
