Caramel Apple Crisp Cheesecake Bars

I just made these a couple of days ago and they are delicious! I love the flavour of the cream cheese with ginger and cinnamon. I am leaving off the caramel topping for two reasons: 1) they are awesome as they are and don’t need to be any sweeter 2) I am using them as finger food and I think the caramel would be too sticky. I might make them sometime as a plated dessert and then would consider a little caramel topping (and maybe a dab of whipped cream).


I didn’t have any trouble getting the crust to spread over the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan. I like the idea of adding chopped apples to the crisp topping. Slicing the apples was the only fiddly part of this. I expect I will make this again.

It smells delicious and was pretty easy to make, my only suggestion would be doubling the crust or using a smaller pan size because it barely covered the bottom of the pan it says to use, and make sure the cream cheese is VERY softened, mine was room temp and that wasn’t soft enough to mix it well, I ended up microwaving the mix and mixing in about 3, 30 second intervals because it was hard to mix and spreading it over the crust just took the crust with it and I had to mix the little bit of crust in with it and make a new crust in a new pan… I also just diced up the apples and mixed them with the crumble topping and it worked just fine for me. 

These Caramel Apple Crisp Cheesecake Bars are ideal choice in the autumn season, but also during holidays, which are knocking on the door.

Out of this World Carrot Cake Recipe with Callie's Cream Cheese Icing

Image
I have been looking for a good carrot cake recipe for some time – I wanted something similar to what my mother used to make. I have to say this is better! The cake was incredibly moist and tasty. I cheated a bit by using a package of pre-shredded carrots and it still was great. As my family does not like cream cheese, I made a standard buttercream frosting with vanilla and cinnamon which worked really well. I was added apple sauce instead of the vegetable oil. I toasted some coconut flakes and decorated the sides of the cake, and on top too. I did concentric circles of coconut flakes and piped shell shape frosting. I piped her name in orange frosting in the last middle circle. It was lovely. It was very moist and delicious ! We love this cake! I love how easy it is to make and how amazing it is when it is done. We have left it out as well as in the refrigerator and it doesn’t dry out either way. This is a keeper for us! This Carrot Cake is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Seriously! A

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Image
I’ve been making these cookies for years and every time I do they NEVER last longer than a couple of hours… everyone loves them. I think they are amazing and a great addition to any holiday party! So tasty! I made a couple adjustments due to what I had in the house, and pure curiosity. I used 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup sugar (I want to try puréed dates instead next time!), extra vanilla, self rising flour (instead of flour and baking soda and baking powder), extra salt, and I increased the spices (adding nutmeg, ginger, cloves etc). My house smells like Fall! The BEST pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Great fall dessert idea. Get the recipe here >> Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies @ twotwentyone.net
