Apple Pie Crumb Bars

Apple Pie Crumb Bars are the perfect hybrid dessert of Apple Pie and Apple Crisp in one delicious easy to make bar recipe!

 

I made Apple Pie Crumb Bars, because I couldn't decide if I wanted an Apple Pie or Crisp. I love the crumbly top and bottom crust with the tart, sweet, cinnamony apple filling.

Apple Pie Crumb Bars are an easy to make hybrid of the two and perfect for a crowd! They have plenty of crumb for all my crumb lovers out there with plenty of apple filling! 

 Lorna and I made 2 pans of these Apple Pie Crumb Bars so we had a pan to share and a pan for home because they never last long in our house.

I also highly suggest a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream because there's nothing better in life then appley, cinnamony, crumbly goodness with a good old scoop of vanilla.

I just happened to accidentally leave the vanilla ice cream out the night before so we had to enjoy our Apple Pie Crumb Bars at home without it but they were still amazing.

You really can't go wrong with these.

In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix together:

• 2 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 2 1/3 cup Oatmeal
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoon Cinnamon 

On low speed until combined.

Add 1 cup Cold Cubed Butter on medium-low speed, until well combined, and crumbly.

Mixture will look like this.

Butter a 9"x13" pan. For easier removal line buttered pan with parchment paper and butter parchment paper. 

Press half of crumb mixture into the bottom of prepared pan.

Stir together:

• 7 cups Granny Smith Apples Peeled, Cored, and Sliced
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice 

until well combined.

Spread apples evenly over crust, and cover with remaining half of crumb mixture. Press crumbs between fingers while distributing to form large crumbles.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-55 minutes until Apple Pie Crumb Bars are lightly brown, and apples are desired doneness when poked with a skewer.

Allow bars to cool until just warm before slicing and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if your heart desires.

A few other recipes that use apples are:

• Best Apple Crisp
• Caramel Apple Cobbler
• Caramel Apple Cake
• Apple Coffeecake
• Apple Dumplings in Caramel Syrup
• Caramel Apple Pie
