Apple Crumble Bars Recipes

APPLE CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350.
• Grease a 20cm/8" square pan and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (so it can be lifted out once cooked).
• Mix together butter, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until you can no longer see white bits of flour.
• Add egg and mix.
• Lightly press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes until slightly golden, then remove and cool for 5 minutes.
• Apple Filling: While the base is cooking, mix together Apple Filling ingredients in a bowl.

APPLE CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• For the base and streusel topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking pan.
• Put the flour, oats, sugars, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 6 times, about 3 seconds per pulse, until some of the oatmeal is finely chopped and some still large or whole. Drizzle in the melted butter, toss with a fork and then pulse until the mixture comes together, about 8 times.
• Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Squeeze spoonfuls of the remaining mixture in your palm to make chunks - some larger, some smaller - and place in a small bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate both the base and the chunks for 30 minutes.
• For the filling: Put the apple butter, dried fruit, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water in the cleaned bowl of the food processor and pulse to a chunky paste. Spread the filling over the chilled base. Scatter the streusel topping over the filling, leaving some of the filling showing through. Bake until the streusel is toasty and crisp, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, about 2 hours, before slicing into 16 squares.

APPLE CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan. Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, letting the parchment extend up the two short sides of the pan and overhang slightly on both ends. (This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan after they have baked.) Butter the parchment.
• For the Crumble: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and cinnamon on low speed. Add the butter, toss with a fork to coat with the flour mixture. Add egg and mix on medium-low speed until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with the butter pieces no larger than small peas. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan. Place reserved half aside. Place the pan and the remainder of the dough in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
• For the Apple Filling: In medium bowl, gently toss diced apples and lemon juice together; set aside.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Pour over the apples and mix gently.
• Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the apple layer.Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely on wire rack then transfer to the refrigerator to chill before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

SALTED CARAMEL APPLE PIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper leaving enough overhang on all sides. Set aside.
• Stir the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes and then remove from the oven. (As the crust bakes, you can prepare the filling and streusel.)
• Combine the sliced apples, flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until all of the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
• Whisk the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry blender or two forks (or even with your hands) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• Turn the oven up to 350°F (177°C). Evenly layer the apples on top of the warm crust. It will look like there are too many apple slices, so layer them tightly and press them down to fit. Sprinkle the apple layer with streusel and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Lift the foil or parchment out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into bars. I usually cut them into 16 smaller bars, but you can cut them into 12 larger bars. Once cut, drizzle some salted caramel sauce on top of each. These apple pie bars can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even cold.

APPLE BARS WITH CRUMBLE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
• Stir oil and milk for crust together in a bowl. Sift flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl; stir to combine. Set 1/3 of the crust mixture aside for crumble topping. Press remaining 2/3 crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
• Combine apples, sugar, flour, melted butter, milk, vanilla, and salt for the filling in a bowl. Spread out over the bottom crust, and crumble reserved crust mixture over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust and topping are golden brown, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before cutting into 24 bars.

APPLE CRISP SHORTBREAD BARS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Be sure to bring the parchment up the sides as it makes it easier to lift out later.
• Shortbread Base:
• Place butter into your mixer and turn on high for 5 minutes or until the butter turns white rather than yellow, that's how you'll know it's creamed. Next mix in the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Once combined, add in the flour and stir well. Press the mixture into the parchment lined pan and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes.
• Apple Filling:
• In a bowl, combine the apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until the apples are well coated.
• Topping:
• Mix flour, ¾ up brown sugar. Cut in the butter and knead together.
• Remove the crust from the oven and turn the heat up to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle one half of the Topping over the short bread, then layer the apples on top. You will have multiple layers so try to keep it level. Once this is finished, sprinkle the remainder of the Topping evenly on top and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully before placing in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours. Once it's set, remove from the baking dish by lifting out the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares.
