After reading reviews on this forum, I took the advice of others and added more cream cheese as well as baking longer. I also made a couple changes of my own; one was not by my choice but turned out to be a blessing in disguise.<br /><br />My grocery store didn’t have apple cinnamon muffin mix, so I ended up buying Krusteaz cinnamon swirl crumb cake and muffin mix. I ended up having not enough canned pumpkin so I did half pumpkin and half homemade slow cooker apple butter. This was awesome!! Plus, there is a cinnamon brown sugar topping that come with the mix, so instead of plain powdered sugar I mixed this with the cream cheese. The bars were dense and full of pumpkin and apple flavor, and the frosting is perfect for both fall favorites. I baked close to 40 minutes.
