Ingredients
Shortbread Base
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 282 grams
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter softened, salted, 227g
Cheesecake Filling
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
- 2 egg room temperature, large
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
Apple Filling
- 3 apple peeled, cored, and diced, Granny Smith variety
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Streusel Topping
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 212 grams
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup butter softened, salted, 113 grams
Caramel Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons butter salted
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray with baking spray.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned just around the edges.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed and stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Pour over the warm shortbread crust and spread into an even layer.
- Stir together the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl. Spoon over the cheesecake layer.
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the apple filling.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or just until the filling is set. Cool for 2-3 hours at room temperature before transferring to the fridge to chill for 4 hours or overnight.
- Combine the butter, sugar, cream, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes while stirring almost constantly until thickened slightly. Stir in vanilla extract, then remove from heat and cool before drizzling over the finished bars. This can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use. Reheat in a microwave until runny enough to pour before using.
- Cut into bars then drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
