Apple-Butterscotch Squares

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 cups chopped peeled apples
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
• 1 (18 1/2 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 34 cup butter or 34 cup margarine, softened
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 12 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 14 cup wheat germ

1. Add the first 3 ingredients to a saucepan; heat until chips have melted; set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix together the oats, cake mix, and butter until coarse crumbs form (I use a pastry blender); set 1 cup of mixture aside and press remaining crumbs into an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
3. Spread apple mixture on top; sprinkle with cinnamon.
4. Combine reserved crumb mixture with brown sugar and wheat germ.
5. Layer over apple mixture.
6. Bake in a 350 oven for 35-45 degrees; cool at least 30 minutes.
7. Cut into squares.
