 Apple Crumb Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

Crust & Topping:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups light brown sugar
1 cup quick-cooking oats
3 sticks unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Filling:

1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
4 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. Pour the flour, sugar, oats and salt into a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Add the butter in large chunks to the food processor until the mixture becomes pebbly and holds shape when pinched.

3. Press 2/3 of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 pan and bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden.

4. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese until soft and pour in the milk until completely smooth. With the mixer on low add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla and flour. Set aside.

5. Toss the chopped apples with the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and sugar and set aside.

6. Once the crust is cooled pour the cream cheese mixture evenly on top, followed by the chopped apples. Spread the remaining 1/3 of the crumb mixture on top and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the bars are set and the crumb is lightly golden. Allow to cool completely before serving.
