Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine flour and brown
sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press into a well-greased

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and
vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until
combined. Spread over crust.
In a small bowl, toss apples with cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining
sugar; spoon over cream cheese layer. In another bowl, mix flour,
brown sugar and oats; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over
apple layer.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until filling is set. Drizzle with caramel
topping; cool in pan on a wire rack 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 2
hours. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
