Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.

- Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumble mixture, then press the rest into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared pan.

- While the bars cool, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, briskly whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Feel free to add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Using the parchment paper, lift the bars from the pan. Drizzle with glaze, slice, and serve.
