Ingredients

1 package approx. 400 g / 14 oz ready-made shortbread or graham cracker crust mix (or crushed biscuits with melted butter)
2 cans about 540 g total / 19 oz apple pie filling
450 g 16 oz cream cheese, softened
200 g 1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
Optional: cinnamon and extra caramel sauce for topping

Method

Instructions

Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking tin.
Prepare shortbread or graham cracker crust according to package instructions and press firmly into the tin. Bake for 5–7 minutes to set.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
Pour cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Spoon apple pie filling on top in dollops, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until edges are set and centre is just slightly wobbly.
Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before cutting into bars.
Drizzle with caramel sauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional) before serving.
