Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars with Streusel Topping

You really can't go wrong with caramel sauce, cream cheese, and streusel, which is why these were so tasty. I will probably add another apple next time so there's more apple flavor. They get an 8 and the recipe came from melskitchencafe.com.

• 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
