Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Line a square baking pan with parchment and oil slightly.Combine filling ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.Combine crust & filling ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Take half and press into baking pan. Spread with filling mixture. Use remaining topping mixture and try to sprinkle evenly over filling. The topping isn't really crumbly; it will be slightly sticky, so just spread as evenly as you can. Press it down ever so gently.Bake for approx 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. At least 1 hour.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FIT_ARTIST.
