Calling all snickerdoodle lovers! Your family is going to beg you to make these Snickerdoodle-Apple Cream Cheese Bars again and again—and lucky for you, they're a breeze to make! These cookie bars are baked with cinnamon-swirled Pillsbury™ sugar cookie dough, a sweetened cream cheese mixture and fresh apples. Inspired by fall, snickerdoodle cheesecake bars are a combination of apple pie, cheesecake, and snickerdoodle cookies in one dessert, what could be better?

Ingredients

Cinnamon-Sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Bars

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon until well blended. Set aside.
  • 3
    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook apples, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until apples are crisp-tender. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, break up cookie dough. Add remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon; mix with spoon, or knead with hands until well blended. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cookie dough. Press remaining dough in pan.
  • 5
    In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the flour and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Pour evenly over cookie dough.
  • 6
    Spoon cooled apple mixture evenly over cream cheese mixture. Crumble and sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup dough over apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • 7
    Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until deep golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool on cooling rack 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until well chilled. Using foil to lift, remove bars from pan, and peel foil away. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use your favorite variety of baking apple in this recipe, including Braeburn, Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • tip 2
    Line the pan with foil to remove and cut bars more easily.
  • tip 3
    You can use a glass or metal baking pan for this recipe, though we prefer one with straight sides so every bar bakes into a similar shape.
  • tip 4
    Store leftover bars covered in refrigerator.
