Kari's Apple Pie Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

• One 16.5 oz tube of Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• One 20 oz. can of apple pie filling
• Cinnamon sugar (1/4 cup of granulated sugar & 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon)

1. Press 2/3 of the cookie dough into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan.
2. Sprinkle with 2/3 of the cinnamon sugar.
3. Spread the apple pie filling over the cookie base.
4. Take small amounts of the remaining cookie dough, flatten it slightly and place over the pie filling. It will not cover the pie filling completely.
5. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
6. Bake in a 350* oven until the cookie dough is baked - mine took about 35-40 minutes.
7. Allow bars to cool and cut into squares.

Kari's notes:

The first time I made this, the cookie dough didn't cook very well, so it was really gooey. The second time around, I cooked the cookie base first for a little while before adding the other ingredients on top of it. Also, the first time I made it, I made little discs of dough for the top, but the second time I just kind of crumbled it. I also doubled it for a 9x13.
