Ingredients

Shortbread
  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
Apple Pie Filling
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 large apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumb Topping
  • 1/2 cup butter cold
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with a piece of parchment paper. Let the parchment paper drape over two sides of the pan. This will help you pull the bars out of the pan after they're cooled.
Shortbread
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, add in the butter and sugar. Mix until light and fluffy. It will take a minute or two.
  2. Add in the vanilla and flour and mix on medium until combined and forms a dough ball.
  3. Press the shortbread into the bottom of the prepared pan. Make sure it's evenly spread out and touches all edges.
Apple Pie Filling
  1. In a large bowl, add in the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Whisk to incorporate.
  2. Add in the sliced apples and vanilla. Stir until the flour and sugar mixture covers every apple.
  3. Layer the apples on the shortbread so they're neatly packed into the bars.
Crumb Topping
  1. In a mixing bowl, add in the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and flour. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until crumbs form.
  2. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the apple pie mixture trying to cover most of the apple pie filling.
  3. Place into the oven and bake for 50 minutes or until the crumbs are golden brown.
  4. Let the bars cool completely. I chilled mine in the fridge overnight to get the perfect square cuts.
  5. Cut and serve. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra delicious bite.

Notes

  • To store any leftover apple pie crumb bars, place in an air tight container and store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
