Cómo preparar Apple Cheese Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Using an electric mixer on low to medium speed, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups peeled and shredded apples (about 3 medium), 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Evenly spread the apple-cheddar filling over the partially baked crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar, beating until combined. Then, beat in 4 ounces (½ package) softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top layer of crumbs.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes more, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
