Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or 2 forks)
until mixture is crumbly. Press evenly into a 9x13
baking pan lined with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 3/4 cup
sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed until
smooth. Then add eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla.
Stir to combine. Pour over warm crust.
In a small bowl, stir together chopped apples,
remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and
nutmeg. Spoon evenly over cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle evenly with Streusel topping. Bake 40 to
45 minutes, or until filling is set. Drizzle with
caramel topping and let cool.
