For all the apple lovers. Here is an easy Apple Crumb Bars recipe for you. It has a layer of buttery cookie base, cooked apples, crumbly topping with lots of almonds, some cinnamon, and a drizzle of caramel.
I used some leftover sugar cookie dough from my freezer. I wanted to incorporate some almonds into the dough and crumble topping. So I mixed some almond flour into the cookie dough and added some in the crumb topping too.
The Apple Crumble Bars turned out great and delicious. It just melts in your mouth!

How to make the apple filling
Wash, peel and dice all the apples and add them to a medium-sized pan. Next, add the lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well and turn on the heat to medium-high. Cook the apple until the water evaporates. Cool the apple filling.

How to make the cookie dough base
Mix all the wet ingredients in a large bowl using a hand beater or a wooden spoon.
Next, add in the dried ingredients and mix until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Take a 5×10 inch jelly roll pan or a 13×9 inch rectangular pan and butter the pan well/line it with parchment paper. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the pan and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the crumb topping and preheat the oven to 180C/356F.
How to make the crumble topping
Add all the dried ingredients except the sliced almonds in a medium bowl. Mix well to combine.
Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter with the rest of the ingredients to form small clumps which resemble a coarse sand texture.
Finally, add the sliced almonds and toss them a few times to mix.

Assemble the Apple Crumb Bars
Take the sheet pan out from the refrigerator and spread the apple filling evenly.
Lastly, sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the apple filling. Bake at 180C/356F for 30-35 minutes, or until the top and the edges are lightly browned. Every oven is different, so it is always better to check by about 25 minutes.

Place the pan on a wire rack and cool the bars for 1- 2 hours. Drizzle some caramel sauce on top.
Cut the bars into squares let them cool completely, and enjoy. Or, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for 3 months. Thaw it and bring it to room temperature before serving.
