Apple Pie Streusel Bars image

Okay, this is a recipe I found on Pinterest and then tracked it down to the original. It was alright, but needed some major spice kick. So, I adapted the original with just a few additions, pan change, and switched the apple variety. I personally like skipping the glaze, serving it HOT with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
