Comment préparer Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Make the apple topping: In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix with your fingers until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown. A slight jiggle in the center is okay.
- Let cool completely in the pan before drizzling with your favorite caramel sauce.
- Once completely cool, lift the bars out of the pan using the foil overhang, cut into squares, and serve chilled. Enjoy!
