Preheat the oven to 350

2.)We are going to prepare the crust for so that its ready for the filling. I crumbled my cookies by hand, but if you have a food processor work the cookies into a fine grind. 

3.)Add the butter and brown sugar and thoroughly mix through. Press into a 9 x 12 pan and put in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.

4.)While that is baking (and making your house smell like the Holidays) you can quickly prepare the filling. 

5.)Mix all the ingredients together and once the crust is out of the oven you can go ahead and pour over warm crust. 

6.)Pop the bars back into the oven for around 35 minutes or until the middle is solid.

7.)While the bars are baking away in the oven you can start on that yummy apple topping. Peel three apples and dice. In a pan, melt the butter, brown sugar and spice until simmering.

8.) Add the apples and cook for around 10 minutes. Stir every so often, but not too much. We want to see some of that sticky, yummy caramelized magic happening.

9.)Once the apples finish cooking, you can set them aside. I cut the bars first and then topped them with the apples. It made it easier and I avoided any extra mess. 

Voila! Delicious bars, perfect for dessert, breakfast and even dinner (hehe)
