Autumnal Dessert Hybrids

These Apple Pie Cheesecake Bars Recipe Features a Flaky Flavored Pastry

These seasonal cheesecake bars are a hybrid of many of your favorite fall treats. Created by Carrian at the blog Oh Sweet Basil, the autumnal recipe is one part cheesecake, one part square, one part apple pie and one part crescent roll. The dessert contains creamy cheesecake filling with cinnamon sugar-coated apples baked inside flaky crescent roll-style pastry.

A sure hit with families, the crescent roll apple pie cheesecake bars call for gala or honey crisp apples, butter, cinnamon, flour, nutmeg and sugar. You will also need two cans of crescent rolls, butter and cinnamon sugar, plus cream cheese, sugar, lemon, vanilla and a whisked egg. Once everything is made, you can also drizzle a little honey on top.
