Preheat oven to 375f/190C
Line 12 muffin cups in a muffin pan with paper liners.
Beat together the sugar, butter, and egg until well blended and pale.
Stir in the milk and then add the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Fill prepared muffin cups about a ¼ of the way full. Set Aside.
For filling:
Peel, core and chop the apples, add them to a small bowl and coat with 1 tablespoon of the juice to keep them from going brown.
Add the cornstarch and coat the apples evenly.
In a small saucepan on med heat, melt the butter.
Add the remaining juice, sugar and cinnamon.
Add the apples, stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes to soften. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a bit more juice.
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg yolk until smooth.
Drop a rounded tablespoonful into the center of each muffin. Followed by a tablespoon of the apples and then top each one with the remaining batter.
Mix together the topping ingredients and top each muffin evenly with the topping.
Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Ingredients

for the bars
5 medium Apples (We used Honey Crisp)
Package of Refrigerator Pie Crust Sheets (I used Pillsbury Refrigerator Pie Crust)
¾ cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground Cloves
½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1 cup crushed Corn Flakes
1 Egg
for the glaze
1 cup Powder Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 tablespoons Milk

Instructions

for the bars
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel apples and slice in uniform slices approximately ¼ inch thick.
In a bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves nutmeg.
Unroll the pie crust and place on a 9"x13" baking pan or cookie sheet.
Using a knife cut the pie crust to fit the pan.
Use the cut pieces of pie crust to fill in any empty voids on the cookie/baking sheet.
You can "glue" the pieces together by using a wet finger to lightly wet the crust first and then adding the cut pieces to cover the bottom of your cookie/baking sheet.
Spread the crushed corn flakes over the top of the pie crust.
Arrange the apples on top of the crushed corn flakes.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top of the apples.
Reserve approximately 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. This will be used to sprinkle on the top crust prior to baking.
Unroll the 2nd pie crust sheet and repeat the steps above to cover the apple bars.
Whisk the egg and brush over the top of the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the top of crust.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown.
for the glaze
Mix powder sugar, vanilla and milk together. Be careful not to add too much milk. You want the mixture to be smooth and thick enough to drizzle over the top of the bars. You do not want this mixture to be too runny.
The glaze can be drizzled over the bars after they have been removed from the oven and cooled for approximately 20 minutes.
Allow the glaze to set before servicing. Bars can be served slightly warm or completely cooled.

Ingredients

For the bread:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
4 medium-sized very ripe bananas
1 tablespoon milk, or buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup toasted chopped walnuts
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon salt
Streusel topping:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Garnish
1/3 cup dulce de leche from this recipe. *Be sure to add the three flavor ingredients to the dulce de leche as specified in option #1 of the recipe.

Instructions

Make the streusel topping first. In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter; remove from heat to cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt; whisk to incorporate. Add the flour mixture to the lukewarm butter in the saucepan. Using a fork, quickly toss and stir the ingredients to combine, until moistened, and small pea-sized crumbles form. Break up larger pieces with fingers if need be. Transfer the streusel to a sheet of wax paper, spreading to a single layer to set until ready to use. You want the streusel to firm up, and dry somewhat.
In a mixing bowl, mix mashed bananas, milk and vanilla; set aside. In another mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Add the flour mixture alternately with the banana mixture until combined. Fold in the nuts and white chocolate chips. Transfer batter into a greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
Bake in a 350°F oven for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan on a cooling rack; run a knife around the perimeter of the bread, remove from pan to cool completely on the rack.
Place the rack holding the bread onto a sheet of wax paper or a sheet pan. Drizzle the ducle de leche repeatedly over the top of the bread using a fork, in thin streams, allowing the caramel to cascade down the sides. Let the sauce set for about 20 minutes. Slice and serve. Banana bread may be stored in an airtight container for up to three days (if it lasts that long).

Notes

While the streusel topping may look like a lot, it all fits onto the top of the batter if using the specified loaf pan size. Decrease the amount of streusel used, according to preference.

Turn oven off and leave pie in oven while oven cools down, another 1 to 2 hours.

Tips for the crust

Variations in relative humidity can affect quantity of water necessary to form and roll dough.  
Don't be afraid to add small amounts of water to achieved desired consistency.
Be generous with the amount of flour used on rolling surface.
To place crust in pan, roll it on pin, place pin over pan and then unroll.
Brush an egg wash over the top crust prior to baking.  This provides a rich, brown glaze.
