This recipe is for 23x23cm pan. It may seem too little but trust me, these bars are pumped and you will be filled instantly. They are a classic - I mean, apples and cinnamon go together very well in many recipes (like, most of the strudel thingies) and if you add another classic - cream cheese - you have a winner, right? It's got a crispy top, moist middle and very dense bottom. Yay!
Ingredients:
Batter
- 100g oats
- 200g flour (again, use whichever you want, I made these with whole grain rye)
- 250g soft butter
- 200g sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tea spoons vanilla extract
- 2 table spoons cinnamon
- 1 tea spoon baking powder
- 2 tea spoons corn starch
Cheese Filling
- 200g cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 50g sugar
- 1 tea spoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
Apple Layer
- 2 big apples
- 2 table spoons sugar
- 1 table spoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tea spoon ground nutmeg
1) Beat the butter with sugar first till ... well, I'd tell you light and fluffy but if you use dark sugar like me, then there is no light and fluffy. Just beat it for a couple of minutes and then start slowly adding the rest of the batter ingredients till very thick batter appears.
2) Combine everything in the cheese filling section.
3) Grate the apples and combine with the rest of the apple layer stuff.
4) Prepare your pan by greasing it or line it with parchment paper.
5) Take 3/4 of the batter and spread it evenly on the bottom of your pan.
6) Pour the cheese filling on top.
7) Cover it with the apples and the rest of the batter (take small chunks and distribute them as you want)
8) Bake for about 35 minutes at 180°C (or till nicely brown).
...as everything with cheese in it it's best from the fridge...
