Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup sour cream

For the Peach Caramel Topping:

• 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Extra peach slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake Bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
5. Prepare the Peach Caramel Topping: In a small saucepan, heat the caramel sauce over low heat until it is pourable, if necessary. Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the chilled cheesecake bars. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the peaches.
6. Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake bars out of the pan. Cut into squares and garnish with extra peach slices if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Tips

• For a thicker crust, you can increase the graham cracker crumbs to 2 cups.
• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
