Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, sugar, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, creating an even layer. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
While the crust is baking, in another bowl, mix the chopped apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Ensure the apples are evenly coated.
Once the crust is slightly cooled, spread the apple filling evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining crust mixture on top of the apple filling for a delicious topping.
Bake the assembled bars for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the apple pie bars to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
