For the Apple Pie Filling

• 6 cups apples, cored and thinly sliced (I used Fuji)
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice

Instructions

For the Crust and Crumble Topping:

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, oats, pecans, baking powder and salt. Pour melted butter over flour mixture, stir to combine until moist and crumbly. Reserve 2 cups of the mixture for the crumb topping. Press remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.

For the Apple Pie Filling:

In a large bowl toss together the apple slices, flour, apple pie spice and sugar. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs and continue to beat until light and creamy. Set aside.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

Arrange apple slices in the bottom or prepared crust. Spread cheesecake filling over apples. Drop apple butter mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls over cream cheese mixture. Add the the reserved 2 cups of crumble on top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until completely cold (preferably overnight). Cut into bars and drizzle with caramel.

For the Caramel Drizzle:

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook for 1 minutes. Let stand 3 minutes, pour over bars.
