Here's the recipe, from our local Rosie's Bakery. I've made these a few times and people really enjoy them.


Apple Crumb Bars
Rosie's Bakery

Filling
3 1/2 C. peeled, sliced (3/8" thick) apples (3-4, preferably McIntosh)
7 T. apple cider or juice, or as needed
2 T. fresh lemon juice
3/4 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
2 t. cornstarch

Crumb Layers
1/2 C. plus 2 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 C. (lightly packed) light brown sugar
2 T. sugar
3/4 C. quick-cooking oatmeal
1/8 t. salt
5 T. unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 5 pieces


In a small saucepan, simmer the apples, 3 T. of the cider, the lemon juice, cinnamon and salt over medium heat just until apples lose their crispness, 3-4 minutes.

Drain any jucie into a measuring cup and add enough of the remaining cider to measure 1/4 C. Transfer the apples to a small bowl.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the cider, then pour this mixture into the small saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Pour this mixture over the apples and toss to coat. Refrigerate while you prepare the crumb layers.

Preheat oven to 425 deg F. Lightly grease an 8" square pan with butter.

Place the flour, both sugars, the aotmeal and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly 5 times. Add the butter and pulse 8 to 10 times until it is incorporated evenly. Pat half the crumb mixture firmly over the bottom of the prepared pan.

When the apple mixture has cooled, cut the slices into 1/2" pieces. Spread the apple mixture over the base and sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the top.

Bake the bars until the crumbs are golden and the apple mixture is bubbling along the sides of the pan, about 25 minutes.

Cool bars completely then refrigerate to chill before cutting. Makes 9 to 12 bars.
