Instructions
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Press firmly into the pan and bake 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Spread evenly over warm crust.
Toss apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon evenly over cheesecake.
Combine oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples.
Bake 45–50 minutes, until top is golden and center is set.
Cool completely, then chill at least 2 hours before slicing for clean bars.Notes
