Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups diced apples
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, 1/2 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until all the crumbs are moistened.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a compact crust.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a fluffy texture.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples and ground cinnamon, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly across the pan.
  8. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and use a knife or skewer to swirl it through the cheesecake mixture for a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  10. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares to serve.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling. You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
