Apple Pie Crumb Bars

July 4, 2012 By 10 Comments

My reason for making the recipe below? Found a jar of apple pie filling and knew it needed to be used up. So I searched online and found this yummy recipe.

I always like to credit the original recipe if I found it online so here’s the inspiration for Apple Pie Crumb Bars.



Ingredients


1 18-ounce package yellow cake mix


1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats, divided


1/2 cup margarine, softened, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2-3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


1 egg

1 21-ounce can apple pie filling

1/4 cup brown sugar


Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.While oven is heating, grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan.
  2. In a large bowl combine cake mix, 6 tablespoons margarine,1 cup of oats, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside 1 cup of this for the topping.
  3. To the remaining mixture add egg and mix well.
  4. Press evenly into pan, pour pie filling over base and spread evenly.
  5. Take remaining topping and add 1/4 cup of oatmeal, 2 tablespoons of margarine, and brown sugar.
  6. Take remaining topping and add 1/4 cup of oatmeal, 2 Tablespoons of margarine,and brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until topping is a light golden brown. If desired serve with vanilla ice cream.

By all means serve this with ice cream! I had a little bit the night I made it and then went to the grocery store the next day just to get vanilla ice cream! It was delicious.
