Starting with the crust, you mix together ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats, and ½ cup melted butter. Once mixed together put into an even layer in your pan, we put down tinfoil to make it easier to pull out of the pan we used.
Then pop it in the oven for 5 min. to partially cook and harden the crust.
While you let that cool, you can go ahead to the next two steps. First make the cheesecake layer by combining, 16 ounces soft cream cheese, 2 T. corn starch, ¼ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup white sugar, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and ½ tsp cinnamon.
Pour into your crust. Slice your 2 apples and add on top.
Combine ¼ cup all purpose flour, ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats, ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, and 2 T. softened butter. Then add on top of everything else.
Back in the oven for 40-50 min. Cool then if you would like you can add the caramel before serving.
We used a Home made caramel recipe for ours and it turned out absolutely amazing.
