Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter with a fork until the mixture is crumbly, kinda. With fingers, press the dough evenly into a 13 × 9-inch baking pan or a cookie sheet with edges. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned. In the meantime, in a larger bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth (about 1 minute). Add the eggs, 1 at a time (beat about 20 seconds after each addition). Next add the vanilla and mix until combined. Pour the cream cheese batter over the warm crust. Peel the apples and chop them into 3/4-inch chunks. Mix the apple chunks with the cinnamon and two tablespoons white sugar. Spoon the apple chunks evenly over the cream cheese mixture. In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar for crumb topping. Cube the butter and using a pastry blender (or a fork), create a crumbly mixture. Crumble over the cream cheese mixture. Bake 30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Reduce the temperature to 300° for the last 5 minutes. Cut into 3x3 inch bars. Drizzle with the caramel topping. |
