Apple Crumb Bars
Store your dessert bars the way you'd store cookies. These apple crumb bars keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1/4 cups cold butter, divided
- 5 to 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- vanilla ice cream, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar and baking soda; cut in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 2 cups for topping. Press remaining oat mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Arrange apples over the top.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, water, vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes; pour over apples. Sprinkle with reserved oat mixture.
- Bake until top is lightly browned, 35-45 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. If desired, serve with ice cream.
