How to Make Apple Bar

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7x11 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add ¾ cup packed light brown sugar to the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Spread half of the crumble mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Arrange 4-5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced, over the crumble layer. Dot with 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
  7. Sprinkle ¼ cup packed light brown sugar over the apples.
  8. Top with the remaining crumble mixture, pressing down gently.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
  10. Cut into bars or squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
