Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¾ cup sugar. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract until silky.
  • In a separate bowl, toss diced apples with cinnamon and nutmeg, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Pour apple cheesecake mixture over cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Cool at room temperature for about an hour, then drizzle with caramel sauce and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Lift from pan using parchment and slice into bars. Serve with additional caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

Use firm apples for best texture. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps. Allow bars to cool completely before chilling.
