5. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven to cool.

6. Meanwhile in the bowl of your electric mixer blend together cream cheese, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cornstarch and vanilla.

7. Once well combined, pour on top of your graham cracker/oat crust.

8. To start your apple layer, arrange the thinly sliced apple on top of the cream cheese mixture in a single layer.

9. Top with the Apple Crisp Topping. Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes.

Note: This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prep and 55 minutes total cook time and yields about 20-24 pieces. You can eat them cold, or feel free to warm them slightly before serving. The bars will have set but the temperature will make your guests think you just whipped them up before the party.
