Caramel and apple cider bars

Step by step

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 ºC.

2. Step 2

   Bring the apple cider, sugar and cinnamon to the boil in a saucepan to make a syrup. Cook for at least another 10 minutes until you have a thick syrup. Remove the cinnamon stick and leave to cool at room temperature.

3. Step 3

   Grease a shallow cake mould with extra-virgin olive oil. Crush the biscuits well and add the melted butter. Add to the mould and press down firmly with your fingers to form a firm base.

4. Step 4

   Beat the eggs and mix in the cream cheese to make a thick, creamy mixture. Add the apple cider syrup and mix all the ingredients together well.

5. Step 5

   Pour the mixture over the biscuit base and bake until the top turns golden brown (about 45 minutes).

6. Step 6

   Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before cutting into individual bars.
