Y’all, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars that’ll make your taste buds dance! I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my stress-baking sessions (we’ve all been there, right?), and honey, it’s been a game-changer at every gathering since.
Picture this: a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with creamy cheesecake, crowned with cinnamon-spiced apples, and drizzled with homemade caramel sauce. I mean, could it get any more perfect? 😍
Let’s get baking, girlfriends!
What You’ll Need:
For the Crust:
– 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 16 full sheets)
– 1/2 cup melted butter
– 1/4 cup sugar
(Trust me on these measurements – I’ve tested this recipe more times than I care to admit!)
For the Cheesecake:
– 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Apple Topping:
– 3 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
– 2 tbsp butter
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
The How-To:
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (because nobody likes a cold oven, am I right?)
1. Mix those graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press into a 9×13 pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let it cool.
1. Beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth as silk (or your face after a good facial). Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Pour over the crust.

1. Now, let’s make magic with those apples! Sauté them with butter, brown sugar, and spices until tender but not mushy (about 5 minutes).
1. Arrange those gorgeous apple slices over the cheesecake mixture.
1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is almost set. And please, whatever you do, don’t open that oven door while it’s baking – this cheesecake is more sensitive than your ex! 😂
Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (I know, the waiting is torture!).
