How to Make Apple Oat Snack Squares

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in ¼ cup milk until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix.
5. In a separate bowl, prepare your apple filling: Combine 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
6. Gently fold the apple filling into the oat mixture.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
8. Sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
9. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the squares are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. Enjoy!
