They’re so, so good seriously, one of my absolute favorite things to come out of my kitchen lately! Every time I make them, they disappear faster than I can set them on the table.

I still remember the first time I made these Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars since it was a chilly Sunday when all I wanted was to wear fuzzy socks and light a candle so that I could bake something cozy and comforting because I had a few too many apples sitting in the fruit bowl as we often do after an overenthusiastic apple-picking trip so I figured why not give it a try.

Spoiler alert it didn’t last the night because everyone loved it
The crust turns out buttery and crumbly so that it feels like a

shortbread hug while the cheesecake layer is creamy and dreamy and the apples get all warm and soft as though they’re mini pie slices tucked under a caramel drizzle and that drizzle is honestly dangerous because I’m not saying I licked the spoon but I definitely did.

It’s the kind of treat that makes people go “Wait, you made this” and you can proudly answer yes because you really did.

Alright, let’s get into it so are you ready…

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

Tips for Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars Recipe

Room temperature cream cheese: soft cream cheese blends smoothly and prevents lumps.

Don’t skip chilling: chilling helps the cheesecake set and makes cutting clean squares much easier.

Try different apples: granny Smith apples give a tangy flavor, while Gala or Fuji apples add sweetness. Mix them for balance.

Homemade caramel: if you have time, homemade caramel gives a deeper flavor, but store bought works too.

Cut neatly: use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices for picture perfect bars.

What to Eat with Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars ??

These bars are wonderful on their own, but you can pair them with a scoop of Blueberry Pie Ice Cream for an extra treat.

A cup of Smoothie or warm apple cider also goes perfectly with the spiced apple flavors. If serving at a party, pair them with other fall desserts like pumpkin pie or cinnamon rolls for a cozy dessert table.

Ingredients :

For the crust :

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs “or digestive biscuits, crushed”
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup sugar

For the cheesecake filling :

• 16 oz “450 g” cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the apple topping :

• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

For the finishing touch :

• Caramel sauce “store bought or homemade”
• Optional: chopped nuts “like pecans or walnuts”

How to Make Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars :

Step 1

First prepare the crust: in a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased baking pan. This forms the crunchy base of your bars and make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing well until everything is creamy. Pour this mixture over the crust and spread it evenly.

Step 2

Second cook the apples: in a pan, melt the butter, then add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir and cook until the apples are soft and caramelized. This step makes the bars taste like warm apple pie then layer the apples: spread the cooked apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling. This gives the dessert a fruity, spiced layer that pairs perfectly with the creaminess.

Step 3

Bake: place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F “175°C” and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and cool and chill: let the bars cool completely, then place them in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours “overnight is even better”.

Step 4

Finally top with caramel: Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top and, if you’d like, sprinkle with chopped nuts then cut and serve: Slice into squares or bars, and enjoy.
