11 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
13 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
14 - 2 teaspoons cornstarch

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Incorporate cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Whisk milk and egg together, then blend into flour mixture until just combined.
03 - Press two-thirds of the prepared biscuit dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Reserve remaining dough for topping.
04 - Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until apples become tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle cornstarch over mixture; continue to stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
05 - Distribute apple filling evenly over biscuit base. Drizzle caramel sauce over apples.
06 - Drop spoonfuls of reserved biscuit dough over caramel layer, allowing some apple and caramel to show through.
07 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
08 - Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Immediately after baking, brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar blend evenly over bars.
09 - Allow bars to cool completely in pan before removing and slicing.
