HOW TO MAKE THE MOST AMAZING APPLE CRISP SHORTBREAD BARS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Be sure to use a large enough piece of parchment so that some is up and over the sides - it makes it easier to lift out later. Shortbread Base:Put the 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. I did this by gently tossing with my hands. Topping:Mix flour, 3/4 up brown sugar. Cut in the softened butter and knead together. I just do this with my hands in a medium-sized bowl. Remove the crust from the oven and turn the heat up to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle one half of the topping over the shortbread, 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 of your apples and place the pan in the oven to bake for 30-35 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.

THE BEST APPLE CRISP BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing paper to overhang on two of the ends. Spray with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. On low speed, add flour and mix until combined. The dough will be crumbly.
• Press dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 16 minutes. Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack to cool as you prepare the filling. Keep oven temperature at 350.
• In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon juice and toss to coat. Add in the cinnamon, flour, sugar, and salt. Toss until apples are evenly coated. Arrange apples in an even layer on top of the partially baked crust.
• Cut the butter into small cubes.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, both sugars, cinnamon, and flour. Add in the cubed butter and, using two forks or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
• Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
• Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
• Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
