Follow these steps to create your Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake effortlessly:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

2. Make the Blondie Layer:
– In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
– Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
– In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

3. Layer the Blondie Batter:
– Spread the blondie batter evenly in the prepared springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Bake the Blondie Layer:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

5. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
– Gradually add in granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
– Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
– In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples with cinnamon.

6. Combine Layers:
– Fold the cinnamon-spiced apples into the cheesecake mixture. Pour this mixture over the cooled blondie layer in the springform pan.

7. Bake the Cheesecake:
– Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and allow it to stay inside for an additional hour.

8. Cool Down:
– After baking, transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack and let it cool for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

9. Add Caramel:
– Once chilled and set, drizzle caramel sauce over the top right before serving.
