Zubereitung von Dutch Apple Pie Bars
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- **Make the Crust:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Drizzle 1 large egg over the mixture and toss lightly to combine.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a rectangle and place it in the prepared pan. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- Prick the dough all over with a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden.
- **Make the Filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), tossing to coat evenly.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup heavy cream.
- Spread the apple filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- **Make the Topping:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, combine ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
- Pour the melted butter mixture over the flour mixture and stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
