Caramel Apple Cheesecake bars

I'm not a huge cheesecake lover because the cream cheese can be a little overwhelming but these are wonderful because it has just the right amount. A brown sugar shortbread crust, smooth cheesecake layer, lightly tart apples, with a crunchy cinnamon streusel all drizzled with caramel. Not a favorite for people that are expecting a cheesecake but I absolutely love these! Easy recipe to prepare for a crowd.
