Delicious cinnamon sugar churro bars with a creamy cheesecake and apple center. This is one delicious dessert bar that tastes like you are eating a churro!
I am so excited to be an official blogger for Lucky Leaf for the second year in a row. I work with brands that I truly stand behind and value their product and use for myself. Lucky leaf is hands down the highest quality fruit topping and filling in my opinion. It has no high fructose corn syrup and has more fruit inside and a lot of different flavors to chose from. It is very convenient and versatile and a high quality product to use to simplify your baking. It is my favorite fruit topping and filling to use and I love creating new and delicious recipes with it.
We love churros around our house. The crisp cinnamon sugar outside and the soft and warm pastry inside is amazing with the first bite. So as I was thinking of a dessert to make the thought came to me to make these churro bars. Cinnamon sugar goes so well with apples and I wanted to fill these easy and delicious bars with a creamy cheesecake apple center.
These bars come together in just minutes and you will love how easy they are to make. These taste just like a churro with the cinnamon sugar coating and soft pastry outside. But they are so great because you can cut them in squares and have a deliciously filled apple cheesecake bar perfect for feeding a crowd.
These are one of the best and easiest dessert bars that you are going to make. All of the delicious things that you love about a churro are rolled up into these delicious easy to make apple cheesecake churro bar. I am sure that your family is going to love them just as much as we did!

Apple Churro Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat together the 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla, slightly beaten 1 egg, and ½ cup sugar until smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ½ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Set aside.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Roll out 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls and press it into the prepared pan. Pinch the seams together so the dough is completely sealed. Place the dough on top of the cinnamon and sugar mixture in the pan.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly on top of the dough. Spread 1 (20-ounce) apple fruit filling and topping on top of the cheesecake mixture.
- Unroll the remaining tube of crescent dough and place it on top of the apple filling layer also making sure that the seams are completely sealed.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining ¼ cup of cinnamon and sugar mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

I just made it and I need to know if it needs to be refrigerated.
This cheesecake bar can be refrigerated.
Thank you for this recipe. I always make enchiladas, arroz con pollo (chicken & rice) and tostadas for Christmas dinner – I needed a dessert to go with my menu. This Apple Churro Cheesecake is a MUST. It’s easy to prepare. I did make it without fruit for New Years Eve and my fam crew has agreed that fruit filling is the way to go. Next time we may try pumpkin or cherry filling
Hi! Trying this today-does it need to be refrigerated after baking to set the cheesecake? Worried about losing the crunchiness if I do! Thanks!
I had to freeze mine – should I defrost before I reheat and what should it be reheated on?
Hello, I am dying to try this receipt. How much vanilla is called for? I didn’t see that on the ingredients list.
Thanks!
I made mine with 1 tsp of vanilla. It turned out good.
