INGREDIENTS

  • Crust

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter
    • 🧂 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Filling

    • 🧈 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 🍏 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
    • 🧂 ½ cup brown sugar
    • 🧂 ½ cup white sugar
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2

Combine flour, 1 cup butter, ¾ cup white sugar, egg, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until crumbled and easily formed into dough. Press ¾ of the dough into the prepared pan to form an even crust.

3

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch of salt. Cook until apples soften (about 5 minutes). Stir in cornstarch until thickened.

4

Pour caramel-apple mixture onto the crust and smooth with a spatula. Crumble remaining dough on top.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then cut into bars.
