Apple Pie Bars: Easy Apple Crumble Bars

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup cold butter

  cubed
• 3 apples

  cored and grated (peeled or unpeeled)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and line a 9×13 pan with foil with an
  overhand on all sides. Lightly grease the pan with softened butter.
• 2 In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon,
  cardamom, and salt. Mix in the egg and cut in the butter. You can use a pastry
  blender, a food processor (although be careful not to over mix, you want
  crumbles), or even a stand mixer. Mix until pea-size clumps form. Press half of
  the crumble into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• 3 Shred the apples and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Add them to a
  separate bowl with the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; mix until all the apples
  are coated. Sprinkle the apple mixture over the bottom layer of crumble in the
  pan. Crumble the remaining dough over the apples.
• 4 Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is beginning to turn golden. Cool
  completely before cutting into bars or squares.
