How to Make Apple Oatmeal Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Stir in ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and 1 ½ cups rolled oats.
  4. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter or margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Press half of the crumble mixture into the prepared baking pan to form the bottom crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, toss 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  7. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the bottom crust.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the apples.
  9. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter or margarine, cut into small pieces.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
