Apple Cheesecake Streusel Bars
Taken from my “Favorites” folder!
Notes from our test kitchen; these were tested using Betty Crocker brand oatmeal cookie mix I cannot promise the same results using another brand
Yield 24 bars
Ingredients:
1 (1 pound, 1.5 ounce) pouch oatmeal cookie mix (use Betty Crocker brand)
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:———————————-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Place the cookie mix and butter cubes in a medium bowl; using a pastry blender (I use my fingers for mixing) mix until coarse crumbly (reserve 1-1/2 cups of the mixture) press remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the baking pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile in a large bowl beat cream cheese with the next 5 ingredients until smooth and well combined.
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the partially baked crust.
In a small bowl combine the pie filling with cinnamon, then spoon over the cream cheese mixture
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top of the pie filling, then sprinkle with walnuts.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool for about 40 minutes then refrigerate for 8 hours (even better overnight).
