Making Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Bars is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

4. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Mix in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until fully incorporated.

6. Pour the Filling: Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

7. Bake the Bars: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly jiggles in the center.

8. Cool the Bars: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours until fully chilled and set.

9. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve as desired.
