Wormy Apple Bars for Halloween and/or Debbie's Birthday

Sounds gross, tastes great.

1 1/4 c. flour
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 can apple pie filling
1/3 c. white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 box refrigerated pie crust

1.  Heat oven to 425.  In large bowl, beat flour, brown sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.  Press mixture in bottom of ungreased 13x9 pan.
2.  Spoon and spread filling over crust.  Bake 10 minutes.
3.  Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix white sugar and cinnamon.  Cut 1 cold rolled crust lengthwise in half (keep remaining crust refrigerated).  Cut into 1/4 inch slices.  Repeat with remaining crust.  Separate pieces, and toss with sugar mixture.  Sprinkle cut-up crust mixture evenly over filling.
4.  Bake 18-22 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Cool completely, about 30 minutes.  For bars, cut into 4 rows by 3 rows.  Cover and refrigerate any remaining bars.

(The refrigerated pie crust is easier to cut when cold.  Make sure your knife is sharp.)

Tip:  Orange colored sugar can be used for the regular white sugar.
