How to Make Apple Pie Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 15x10 inch jelly-roll pan.
  2. Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 6 tablespoons cold, cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Shape into a ball, cover, and refrigerate.
  3. Make the shortbread crust: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  5. Meanwhile, make the apple filling: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, raisins, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir this mixture into the apples until thickened. Remove from heat.
  7. Pour the hot apple filling over the warm crust.
  8. Break the chilled streusel topping into 1/2-inch pieces and scatter evenly over the apple filling.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Once cool, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the bars into 18 (3x6) squares.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
