Apple Streusel Cheesecake Bars
1 pouch oatmeal cookie mix
1/2 cup cold margerine
2 pkgs cream cheese- let soften awhile
1/2 cup sugar
2 T flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 can apple pie filling (or two- I like to chop with a knife so it is chunks rather than slices)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
optional walnuts (yuck)
Cut margerine into oatmeal cookie mix until it is coarse crumbly texture. Reserve 1 1/2 cups for topping. Press other into a well greased 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 for about ten minutes or until it looks mushy
In a large bowl mix cream cheese, sugar, flour, vanilla and egg with a mixer until it is really soft and smooth. Apply to baked crust by spooning uniformly over the crust- if you try to spread it the crust will just come up.
Mix the cinnamon with the apple pie filling and then spoon this over top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the leftover crumbs from the crust on top of this. I added a little bit more cinnamon for good measure.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes and then move to the fridge. Chill for at least two hours.
If you cut the pan into 24 pieces, each piece only has 240 calories and it tastes WAY better than a snickers bar!
These are sooo good, a little rich, so really good. Hint though, if you have any left over, eat them by the next day because the topppiong will start going really soft and gooey and kinda gross.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these - however, I will wait until my tastebuds are "cold-free" so that I can taste and savor every bit of their deliciousness!
