Caramel Apple Cream Cheese Cookie Bars


I came across this recipe somewhere in my e-mail. I haven't tried it yet, but if you do please comment on it! Thanks!

Ingredients
3 Tablespoons melted butter
3 Cups Golden Graham Cereal, ground in food processor
1 Roll Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough or 2 pkgs Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Dough Mix prepared and divided into 2 equal parts
8 oz softened cream cheese
1/4 Cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
21 oz can apple pie filling
1.5 oz package Nature Valley Oats N’ Honey Crunchy Granola Bars (2 count), crushed (I use a rolling pin to crush them right in the bag before opening)
9.5 oz Kraft Caramels
1/2 Cup half and half

Method
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine melted butter and ground cereal into a large bowl; press into an 8×8 inch baking dish lined with foil that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven. Crumble half of the cookie dough over partially baked crust.
2. Place cream cheese, sugar and vanilla into a mixer; beat until smooth. Pour over crumbled cookie dough layer. Bake for 25 minutes then remove from over. Top with 3/4 of the apple pie filling (I chose to just add part, but you can add the whole can if desired). Next top with remaining cookie dough, breaking off into little pieces evenly over top. Sprinkle with crushed granola bars and bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes clean from center. Let cool completely then cut into squares. Melt caramels and half and half according to package directions. Drizzle over each bar. Refrigerate leftovers.

Caramel

I had this caramel the other day! SOOOOO GOOD! I used it to top of icecream and dip in pretzels. Best caramel recipe I ever tasted.

2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk (or evaporated)

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 4 minutes without stirring at a medium rate. Remove the pan from the heat and add the milk. Put back on heat. Let it harden a bit then take off the heat... enjoy your caramel. It's perfect for topping off icecream, dipping pretzels, eating it plain, or whatever you like!
