Berry Swirl Cheesecake Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F (160C) and line a 13x9 baking pan with foil and set aside.

Step 2

Place Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulverize until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and salt and pulse until completely combined.

Step 3

Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and use a spoon to firmly press the crumbs into an even layer. Set aside while you prepare your cheesecake layer.

Step 4

Combine cream cheese, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl and use an electric hand mixer). Beat together until creamy and well-combined. Add sour cream and stir well.

Step 5

Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just mixed after each addition (do not over-beat eggs and be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each addition to ensure ingredients are well-combined.)

Step 6

Stir in vanilla extract and then pour batter evenly into prepared pan over cookie crust.

Step 7

Dollop pie filling evenly over cheesecake and use a knife to swirl filling evenly over the surface of the cheesecake.

Step 8

Bake on 325F (160C) for 35-40 minutes, or until center is set (center should bounce back if lightly touched).

Step 9

Allow to cool to room temperature, and then place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
