By I made apple crumb bars for the First Baptist Sunday-school class breakfast. Shortbread base, sliced apples in a brown-sugar-cinnamon sauce, oat-streusel topping. Reimbursement $40.
The recipe is below.
Apple Crumb Bars
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes | Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
- 4 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- Make the crumb mixture. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until evenly combined and crumbly. Press about 2/3 of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Prepare the apple filling. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Layer and top. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pressed crust. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top of the apples, pressing gently.
- Bake. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cool and slice. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. They hold together better once fully cooled.
