Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup brown sugar

For the cheesecake layer:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

For the apple filling:

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the crisp topping:

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

For the caramel drizzle:

¼ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until well-mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden and set. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

    Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until combined and creamy.

      Prepare the Apple Filling: In another bowl, mix the diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss until the apples are well coated.

        Combine and Layer: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Layer the apple mixture on top of the cheesecake.

          Prepare the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the apple layer.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

              Serve: Once cooled, cut into bars and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
