Apple Pie Oatmeal Bars
Apple Pie Oatmeal Bars combine a spiced apple pie filling with a crumbly oat-based crust and topping. The filling is cooked until softened and thickened, then layered between a buttery oat crust and a crumb topping, creating bars that balance tender, juicy apples with a slightly crisp, oat-studded texture. This bar recipe works well for snack time or dessert when you want the flavors of apple pie in a convenient handheld form.

Oatmeal Bars
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a fork or pastry cutter, add in the butter and work until well combined. The mixture should have a crumbly texture and sticks together when pinched between your finger tips.
- Press half of the oat mixture into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the apple pie mixture over the oat mixture and spread evenly in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly on top of the apples.
- Place into the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the baking dihs from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack in the pan. (If you can wait that long.) Then cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an air-tight container.
