Ingredients
  

For the crust and crumble

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup butter cold, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the apple pie layer:

  • 2 apples peeled and chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Additional toppings:

  • caramel sauce, for drizzling optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, pulse the crust ingredients together to form a crumbly mixture. If it doesn't come together, add a tablespoon of water (or as much as needed). Transfer 2/3 of the mixture to the baking dish and press down to form the crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the apple pie ingredients together and sprinkle the mixture over the crust layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining crust/crumble mixture over the apple layer.
  • Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes or until the filling has set and the crust and crumble have turned a nice golden brown. Let them cool in the pan completely. Once cooled, slice the bars and place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
  • When serving, drizzle with caramel sauce.
