What You Will Need
For the Apples
- Apples – 2 large green apples, diced. You can use any color apple you prefer though!
- Sugar Free Syrup – I used 1 tablespoon of sugar free breakfast syrup such as this one, but feel free to use any liquid sweetener of choice.
- Cinnamon-1/2 teaspoon.
For the Cheesecake Bars
- Greek Yogurt – 1/2 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt. This is my favorite butter/oil substitution!
- Oats – 1 cup of old fashioned rolled oats.
- Oat Flour – I used one by Prozis. Use the code “KATIE10” for 10% off!
- Granular Swerve – 1/3 cup of granular Swerve, or sweetener of choice. If you are not familiar with Swerve, it is a zero-calorie, low-glycemic sweetener that measures cup-for-cup to sugar. It’s completely safe and natural, with no artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors. You can purchase Swerve off of Amazon here.
- Cream Cheese – 4 ounces of low fat cream cheese.
- Brown Swerve – 2 tablespoons of brown Swerve.
- Cinnamon – 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Baking Powder – 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
- Salt – 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Caramel Syrup – 1 tablespoon of sugar free caramel syrup. I used the Enlightened Keto Caramel Syrup. You can’t beat the macros with this one!
How To Make Them
- Preheat a small skillet over medium/high heat. Add your green apple slices, sugar free syrup, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the apples are caramelized. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, granulated Swerve, baking powder, salt, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and Greek yogurt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Pour 2/3 of the oats mixture into your baking dish. Press it down firmly to cover the entire bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread the cream cheese evenly on top of the pressed down oat mixture.
- Poor your caramelized apples on top of the cream cheese. Top with the remaining 1/3 of the oat mixture.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar substitute over the top. Bake the apple cheesecake bars for 35 minutes.
- Allow the bars to set for 10 minutes before slicing or they may fall apart. Slice into nine bars.
- Drizzle the sugar free caramel syrup over the bars. Serve and enjoy!

How to Store Leftovers
You can store leftovers in the baking dish, covered with plastic wrap in your fridge for up to 4 days. You can also store them in an air tight container. To reheat, zap them in the microwave for about 20 seconds or warm them up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. The crust of the bars will be more crispy when reheated in the oven!
