                    This recipe is about family, comfort and simplicity. My mom made this delicious sweet treat many a winters night and served it up warm with some of her famous homemade ice cream. I like to make a double batch and pass on the love!  Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1-1/2 cups cold butter, divided  |  
                                                4 to 5 tablespoons ice water  |  
                                                8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 8 medium)  |  
                                                2 cups sugar, divided  |  
                                                2 teaspoons ground cinnamon  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place 2 cups flour and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add 1 cup butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. While pulsing, add just enough ice water to form moist crumbs. Press mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. 2. In a large bowl, combine apples, 1 cup sugar and cinnamon; toss to coat. Spoon over crust. Place remaining flour, butter and sugar in food processor; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle over apples. Bake 60-70 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.                              |
