Apple Streusel Cheesecake Bars

YUM! One of my favorite desserts ever.

You can see the original recipe here: Apple Struesel

1 pouch Betty Crocker oatmeal cookie mix
1.2 cup firm butter
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cut sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Heat over to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Place cookie mix in large bowl. With pastry blender or fork, cut in better until mixture is crumbly and coarse. Reserve 1 1/2 cups crumb mixture; press remaining crumbs in bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread over partially baked crust. In medium bowl, mix pie filling and cinnamon. Spoon evenly over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool about 30 minutes. Refrigerate to chill, about 2 hours. Store covered in refrigerator.
