Recipe Recap!

Today I am going to share a new favorite recipe of mine that I tried for the first time yesterday! I made this for our dessert on Easter Sunday and it was a big hit! 
It is the Caramel Apple Cheesecake and it is incredible! I got this recipe off of Pinterest and can originally be found here.

CRUST:

2 cups Flour

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

2 Sticks Butter softened

FILLING:

3 packages Cream Cheese (8 oz.) softened

1 cup Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla

3 Eggs

APPLE MIXTURE:

3 Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored and diced into small pieces

2 tbsp Sugar

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

TOPPING:

1 cup Brown Sugar (packed)

1 cup Flour

1/2 cup Quick Oats

1 stick Butter Softened

Caramel Topping (to drizzle)

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9X13 baking pan or cover it with aluminum foil.

Combine flour and brown sugar in medium sized bowl and cut in butter with 2 forks or a pastry blender until crumbly. Press mixture into prepared pan & bake for 15-20 minutes.

                  

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, vanilla & sugar until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time mixing to combine. Pour mixture on to baked crust.

In a medium bowl, toss Apples, sugar and cinnamon until combined. Sprinkle apple pieces evenly over cream cheese mixture.

Combine brown sugar, flour, quick oats and softened butter in a medium bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle topping evenly over your apple layer.

Bake for 45-60 minutes or until filling is set. (You can check it by just slightly jiggling the pan). Allow to cool and then place in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight. (I left it in the fridge overnight and it was perfect!) Remove from pan and cut into bars. Drizzle with caramel topping.

All that was left after lunch. Mmmm! 

Enjoy! 

Love,
