Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor, place the butter, brown sugar, flour and salt and pulse until it starts to form dough. Add in the ½ tsp of the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and oats and pulse to combine.

Divide the dough in half and press one half into the bottom of a greased 9” x 13” pan to form an even layer as the base.

In a large measuring cup, stir together the applesauce and the remaining cinnamon (1 tsp). Spread in an even layer over the top of the base.

In a small bowl combine the remaining crust and mix in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle the remaining crust over the top of the applesauce in an even layer.

Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top crust is golden brown.

Remove and let cool completely before slicing into bars.
