Apple Pecan Cheesecake Bars

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter and 2 Tbsp. brown sugar; press onto bottom of prepared pan. Beat cream cheese, 1 cup brown sugar and the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust. Mix remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, the apples, pecans and cinnamon; spoon evenly over cheesecake batter.

Bake 55 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.
