How to Make Cream Cheese Apple Oatmeal Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the apples and any desired additional toppings (such as 1 cup of diced peaches).
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 60-67 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
