Creating your own Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake is a rewarding experience. Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve perfection:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or springform pan.
2. Make the Blondie Base:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed.
2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
6. Pour the blondie mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
3. Make the Cheesecake Layer:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually add sugar, mixing until well blended. Incorporate vanilla.
3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully combined.
4. Finally, add sour cream and mix until smooth.
4. Combine Layers:
1. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the blondie base, smoothing it out evenly.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the center is set.
5. Cool Down:
1. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about an hour.
2. After cooling, refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight for best results) to allow flavors to meld.
6. Serve:
1. Once chilled, drizzle the top with caramel sauce.
2. Optionally, garnish with additional diced apples and whipped cream before slicing and serving.
