Description

An easy chewy oatmeal crust and a classic all apple filling, plus a sweet, salty, addictive pretzel crumb topping. Perfect for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Also great for an afternoon snack!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • ¾ cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1-¼ cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1-½ stick Unsalted Butter, Slightly Softened
  • 1 whole Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • _____
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 4 whole Large Granny Smith Apples, Peeled, Cored, And Roughly Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Unbleached All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ⅓ cups Granulated Sugar
  • _____
  • FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
  • 1 cup Crushed Pretzels
  • ½ cups Unbleached All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
  • ⅓ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1-½ stick Unsalted Butter, Slightly Softened

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF with a rack in the middle position. Grease a glass 9×13″ baking dish.
2. For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, baking powder, oats, and flour. Cut butter into half-inch pieces. Add butter to the oat mixture, working it in until the dry ingredients are moistened. (You can do this with a wooden spoon or in a food processor, or with your hands—my favorite.) Stir in the beaten egg.
3. Transfer crust mixture to prepared baking dish, pressing it out evenly to the sides and corners of the dish. Set aside.
4. For the filling: Place chopped apples, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and granulated sugar in a large bowl and toss to combine. Pour filling over the crust and spread evenly.
5. For the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cut in the butter (like we did in step 2) until the mixture has a crumbly texture, with pieces about the size of a blueberry.
6. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filling. Bake until top is golden brown and apples are tender, about 40 minutes.
7. Cool bars in the pan on a wire rack until completely cool. Slice and serve.
