Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars with Steusel Topping

This recipe comes from my favorite southern cook, Paula Deen! I found this recipe on www.foodnetwork.com, it's one of my favorite go to places when I have ingredients and need a new idea. This can be eaten at room temperature or even slightly warm from the oven, but as with all cheesecake like things it's best cold and even a day or two old. Yummy!
