Get Ready to Rock Your Taste Buds with These Apple Crumble Bars! 🍏🍂




Crust:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (let's keep it classic)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (buttery goodness, duh)
  • ¾ cup white sugar (because, hello, sweetness!)
  • 1 large egg (the glue that holds it all together)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (for that perfect lift)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (just a pinch to balance things out)

Apple Filling:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (because why not more butter?)
  • 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced (tart and tasty)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (for that deep, caramel-like flavor)
  • ½ cup white sugar (sweetness round two!)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (spice it up!)
  • ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg (the subtle magic touch)
  • 1 pinch salt (again, balance, people!)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or more if you're feelin’ saucy)

Directions:

  1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your trusty 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. It’s time to get serious.

  2. Crust Time: In a food processor, combine flour, butter, sugar, egg, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until you've got a crumbly masterpiece that molds like a dream. Not feeling the tech? Go old school with a hand mixer. Press ¾ of this dough into your pan and smooth it down like you're making a delicious foundation for greatness.

  3. Apple Fiesta: Melt that butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the diced apples, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir it up and let those apples soften to perfection—around 5 minutes should do. Need it thicker? Throw in a little more cornstarch until it’s gooey and luscious.

  4. Bring It Together: Pour the apple mixture onto your crust, smoothing it out like a pro. Crumble the rest of the dough on top for that epic apple-crumble vibe.

  5. Bake Away: Pop it in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden and calling your name. Cool for 10 minutes (if you can wait that long) and slice into bars.

Pro Tips:

  • Want to kick it up a notch? Drizzle these babies with salted caramel sauce—homemade or store-bought, no judgment.
  • No food processor? No problem. A hand mixer will do the trick just fine.

Now go ahead, take a bite, and bask in your apple-crumble-bar glory. 😎
