How to Make Apple And Black Currant Crumble Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9 inch square baking tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter or margarine using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup rolled oats and ½ cup packed light brown sugar.
  5. Press half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared tin.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 2 tablespoons cornflour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
  7. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crumble base.
  8. Top with 1 cup black currants.
  9. Crumble the remaining mixture evenly over the top and gently press down.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool completely in the tin before cutting into bars.
