Apple Streusel Cheesecake Bars Recipe
Ingredients you will need:
1 (1 lb 1.5 oz) package oatmeal cookie mix
3 Granny Smith or Gala apples
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup chopped pecans of walnuts
2 eggs
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, pour 1 package oatmeal cookie mix. Add 1/2 cup butter.
Combine butter with cookie mix. Try using the Rada Food Chopper, a useful tool that makes this an easy task.
Set aside half of the crumb and butter mixture for later.
Place the other half in a 9 x 13″ pan. With most pans you should line with foil and grease lightly. With the Rada Rectangular Baker, no foil or grease is necessary. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
While the mixture is baking, combine 2 packages cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Beat until smooth.
Core and slice 3 apples. Try using the Rada Vegetable Peeler to peel and the Heavy Duty Paring Knife to slice.
With a large knife, finely chop the apples. The Rada French Chef Knife is ideal for this. In a bowl, combine apples, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix well.
When cookie mixture is done baking, remove from oven and spread cream cheese mixture evenly across the top.
Sprinkle cream cheese mixture with apple mixture.
Chop 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts.
Add remaining cookie mixture to top. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Drizzle with caramel ice cream topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until topping has set.

Four Easy Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Fruits
1. Did you know that if you slice citrus lengthwise you get more juice? You can get 3 times as much juice from a lemon simply by slicing it lengthwise instead of crosswise! Who knew? A lemon sliced crosswise — the way most people would normally cut it — yields around 2 tablespoons of juice. The one that is sliced lengthwise yields up to 1/3 cup!
2. Wrapping bananas in a newspaper and then refrigerating them can keep them fresh for longer. Don’t you hate it when that banana you were saving goes bad? Next time, try this simple tip to save your bananas for a longer time.
3. To preserve lemons, coat them with coconut oil and refrigerate them in an open container. If you’re like most people, your lemons are shoved in the fridge in a flimsy plastic bag. But lemons, if stored at room temperature, can only last a week before they start hardening.
4. Make your lemons more squeezable: Microwave a lemon for a few seconds. It’ll make it softer and easier to squeeze.
