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
  • APPLE MIXTURE:
  • 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
  • Caramel Topping to drizzle

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.
