Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt for the crust.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press about two-thirds of this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. While the crust bakes, prepare the apple filling. In another bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice.
  7. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon flour. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss to coat.
  8. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  9. Crumble the remaining one-third of the crust mixture over the apples.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  11. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of sweetness, you can drizzle a glaze made from powdered sugar and a little milk over the cooled bars.
  • Feel free to add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping for added texture.
