Irresistible Apple Cider Caramel Cheesecake Bars to Sweeten Your Fall

Learn how to make delicious Apple Cider Caramel Cheesecake Bars. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is the first step to creating these delightful bars. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Feel free to substitute the graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits if you have them on hand. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a sprinkle of nutmeg can add an extra layer of warmth to these bars.

Instructions

Let’s get baking! Here’s how to bring these Apple Cider Caramel Cheesecake Bars to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the apple cider, caramel sauce, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Continue to beat until well combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
  7. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Pro tip: Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to get clean slices. It’s a little trick I picked up from my mom’s kitchen chaos.
