These are EXCELLENT bars!!!! Tastes just like apple crisp only better. My husband already asked me when I was going to make them again! I added about 1 1/2 cups of apple (gala) and a smidge more of the spices when I made them. Next time I will probably add some pecans to the topping for a little more flavor. Thank you beckas for posting this wonderful recipe. It reminds me of one that my mom used to have!!!

These are very good and pretty easy to make. The first time I made them -- I made them exactly as written and they disappeared quickly. The second time I made them, I added about 1/2 well chopped pecans to the topping before baking -- turned out superb. No one has turned these down!

This recipe was great! My 2 year old would not stop eating these. I did not hae any allspice but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I be making these again! Thank you!

Even though I overcooked my base somewhat (should have trusted my nose rather than the timer : ) these bars were very tasty and my grandson claimed the leftovers for himself rather than share with his coworkers. I used one large apple which measured out to about two cups finely diced apples.

Yum-Yum-Yummy beckas! This recipe combines two of my fave desserts: apple crisp and cheesecake! I used all of the topping/crust mixture on the bottom (my preference), and used Philadelphia Neufchatel cheese (1/3 less guilt). Thanks, I enjoyed this!
