Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 4 cups thinly sliced apples (preferably Granny Smith)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it in until the mixture is crumbly.
  4. Press about 2/3 of this mixture into the pan evenly and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Prepare the apple filling by tossing sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for a flakier crust. Allow bars to cool for easier slicing.
