Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees and prepare a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides of the pan, so that you can remove the bars later for easy cutting.
- 2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- 3. Cut in butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly.
- 4. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. When the crust is done baking, turn the temperature up to 325 degrees.
- 5. In another large bowl, combine the chopped apples, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg and set aside.
- 6. To make the filling, blend the cream cheese, brown sugar and flour in a large mixer bowl on low speed until well combined and smooth. Be sure to use low speed to reduce the amount of air added to the batter. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- 7. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix on low speed until well combined.
- 8. Add the eggs and egg white one at a time, mixing slowly to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is well combined.
- 9. Pour the batter into the pan with the crust and spread evenly.
- 10. Spread the cinnamon apples evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling.
- 11. In another small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg for the streusel.
- 12. Add the melted butter and stir together until crumbly.
- 13. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apples.
- 14. Bake the bars for about 45 minutes or until the center is just set. Remove the bars from the oven and allow to cool on the counter for about 45 minutes, then refrigerate until cold and firm.
- 15. Use the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan and cut into bars. Serve cold. Bars are best when stored well covered in the fridge and eaten within 4-5 days.

Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, making the bars lighter and airier.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. This will help ensure that the bars bake evenly.
- Bake the bars for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. Underbaking the bars will make them gooey, while overbaking them will make them dry.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Apple streusel cream cheese bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tangy filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
