How to Make Apple Walnut Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup rolled oats. Mix until finely crumbled.
  4. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Press 2 cups of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining crumble mixture with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  7. Beat in 1 large egg, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples.
  9. Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the crust in the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the bars begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  12. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best experience!
