We have four apple trees in our yard and my mom and MIL both have apple trees too so in the fall we are up to our ears in apples. While I love to make apple pie, we got kind of appled out this year and so I invented these apple bars so that we had another option. Everyone just loves them and ever since I shared the first pan I get tons of requests for them. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Ingredients:
5 cups apples (peeled and sliced) |
1 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups oatmeal |
3/4 cup butter (softened) |
3/4 cup shortening |
2 1/4 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Note* The crusts can be mixed seperately mixed as explained in the recipe or mixed all at the same time using 2/3 of the mixture for the bottom crust.
2. Combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup shortening and 1 1/2 cups flour. (This mixture will be crumbly).
3. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 cake pan.
4. Combine 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
5. Mix this with apples.
6. Spread apple mixture over unbaked crust.
7. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup shortening and 3/4 cup flour. (mixture will be crumbly).
8. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over apples.
9. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
10. Note* Great when served with cool whip or ice cream!
