Vanilla Crumb Bars

Any ever had vanilla crumb pie? This is a delicious Amish favorite that I've had the pleasure of enjoying a time or two.  I posted the recipe earlier this year. But what about making the pie into a bar?  You get the same awesome flavor without the labor of having to make a crust (although this "bar version" has a minimalist "crust")   By making it into a bar you get to stretch the flavor out too, as opposed to being limited to a slice of pie.  So free this delicious dessert from the confines of a crust and make it into a bar!:)

This is a photo of the pie version of this dessert that I enjoyed several months ago in the Adams County, Ohio Amish settlement.  The recipe below frees that amazing filling from the crust.  Enjoy!:)
