I previously made this Apple Cheesecake Bars with Sea Salt Caramel Sauce and I am thinking about making it again for New Years! The recipe is from Lucky Leaf and it is delicious!!

Ingredients:
Crust:
6 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 &1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar

Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 can apple pie filling
3/4 cup favorite prepared caramel sauce (I used Smucker's ice cream topping)
coarse crystals sea salt

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 9x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of the baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and salt. Beat at medium high speed until mixture is smooth - about 1-2 minutes.

Fold pie filling into cheesecake mixture. Spoon micture evenly on top of crust.

Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, until filling is set. Let cool completely.

Just before serving, drizzle caramel sauce on top of cheesecake piece and sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt.

Refrigerate leftovers.
