I love apple recipes.

The recipe section of this little blog of mine holds quite a few of them, as I’ve noticed.

For some reason, a nice apple dessert baking in the oven is the epitome of home to me. It probably is so because my Mom used to make a lot of apple treats for me and my sister when we were kids, and she still does. Because she’s the best!

Anyhow, here’s another lovely, refreshing, house-warming apple recipe that I am sure you will enjoy as much as I did…

I have just decided that this dessert goes straight to the top of my ‘if-I-ever-have-a-restaurant-I’ll-be-serving-this’ list.

Because I am sure that if people had a piece of this apple tart, they would definitely come back for more.

And if they didn’t, for some unimaginable reason, I would be easily able to eat all the tarts I’d have prepared… since this treat is purely delicious!

Just imagine – a flavorful crust that melts in your mouth accompanied by sweet and tender cinnamony apples and that all topped with the most gorgeous caramel sauce ever.

Have a already said that this is delicious?

Because it is!

One of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Hands down.

Taking pictures is one of my most favorite hobbies.

I am so grateful that this wonderful activity came into my life.

It is so relaxing, it is so enriching, it is just MAGICAL.

I take pictures almost every day, whether they are pictures of food that I take in my kitchen to illustrate the recipes I write about, or they are various pictures I take outside while traveling or just walking in nature.

And then, when I arrive back home, I make myself a nice cup of coffee, put on some nice music (or a fun movie even), and enjoy editing the pictures while adding a bit of my own fantasy to them.

Oh, how I love it!

Needless to say, with a lifestyle like this, I have already hoarded loads and loads of pictures.

And have I said I have like LOADS of them?

So I thought that – from time to time – I will pick a few of my most favorite images and present them here as downloadable desktop backgrounds for you to enjoy.

Of course, they will all be free.

I was even thinking I could open a new section of this site called FREE DESKTOP BACKGROUNDS one day. I can already see those themes – food, desserts, macro, nature, animals, flowers, winter. Oh, so EXCITING!

But for now, here are a few colorful desktop backgrounds of fall…

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Cookie Bars

Caramel apple cheesecake cookie bars recipe with step by step pictures. Caramel apple cheesecake cookie bar on a brown plate.

Recently I was searching for a dessert which would be saying ‘Good-Bye!’ to summer, while – at the same time – it would be welcoming the upcoming fall season.

I was searching and now I am searching no more because I’ve found all that I was looking for in this delicious treat.

In case you wondered, I will describe all the lovely levels of this dessert for you: it all starts with a lovely cookie-like layer on the bottom, then it continues with a creamy and delicious cream cheese filling with chunks of delicious cinnamony apple scattered here and there, then there’s a crumbly and crunchy topping, and finally – a good portion of luscious caramel on top.

Sounds quite good, right?

And this is how it all comes together…

It all begins with all these ingredients.

And then…

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).

2. In a bowl, combine the flour (1 cup – 140 grams) and brown sugar (1/2 cup – 100 grams). Cut in the butter (1 cup – 230 grams) with a pastry blender (or a fork) until the mixture is crumbly, kinda.
