Caramel Apple Cream Cheese Cookie Bar

Ok this picture really doesn't do this dessert justice. Once again it is another delicious dessert from Picky Palate and what a perfect dessert for fall. I love the fall and am getting into all the fall scents and flavors so I had to try it. It was quite the hit. Give it a try. I promise you won't be sorry.
