The Best Apple Crisp Bars

Apple crisp pie bars are the perfect fall baking treat! The brown sugar
shortbread crust is so much easier than traditional pie dough. And the easy
apple pie filling and buttery crumb topping makes these apple bars extra
delicious. We love topping these pie bars with vanilla ice cream!

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper,
allowing paper to overhang on two of the ends. Spray with non-stick baking spray
and set aside.
2 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large
mixing bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the butter and both
sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. On low speed, add flour and
mix until combined. The dough will be crumbly.
3 Press dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 16 minutes.
Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack to cool as you prepare the filling.
Keep oven temperature at 350.
4 In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon juice and toss to coat. Add in the
cinnamon, flour, sugar, and salt. Toss until apples are evenly coated. Arrange
apples in an even layer on top of the partially baked crust.
5 Cut the butter into small cubes.
6 In a large bowl, combine the oats, both sugars, cinnamon, and flour. Add in the
cubed butter and, using two forks or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the
dry ingredients until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
7 Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
8 Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is
golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
9 Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Cool for at least 1
hour before serving.
