How to Make Apple Butterscotch Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press half of the dough into the prepared baking pan.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, butterscotch chips, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the apple filling.
- Bake for 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
