Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
"Caramel apple cheesecake bars are a great addition to your Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving dessert table with their warm fall spices and creamy smooth cheesecake filling. Layers of shortbread crust, smooth cheesecake filling, cinnamon and nutmeg spiced apples, and a crumbly streusel topping make up these fall favorite caramel apple cheesecake bars. Combining cheesecake and apples is a no-brainer. But making it in a baking dish, topping with a sweet brown sugar streusel, slicing them into squares, and drizzling them with caramel takes these caramel apple cheesecake bars to a whole new level. "
