Steps:
- For the base and streusel topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking pan.
- Put the flour, oats, sugars, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 6 times, about 3 seconds per pulse, until some of the oatmeal is finely chopped and some still large or whole. Drizzle in the melted butter, toss with a fork and then pulse until the mixture comes together, about 8 times.
- Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Squeeze spoonfuls of the remaining mixture in your palm to make chunks - some larger, some smaller - and place in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate both the base and the chunks for 30 minutes.
- For the filling: Put the apple butter, dried fruit, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water in the cleaned bowl of the food processor and pulse to a chunky paste.
- Spread the filling over the chilled base. Scatter the streusel topping over the filling, leaving some of the filling showing through. Bake until the streusel is toasty and crisp, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, about 2 hours, before slicing into 16 squares.

APPLE AND BLACK CURRANT FUDGE CRUMBLE
As soon as I'm off my diet, I'm going to make this. It's from Leith's Recipe of the Day in the Daily Mail. Notes from the recipe say: blackcurrants are high in vitamin C. And although they can be sharp, that edge is lost in the deliciousness of this crumble. Choose a dish so that the crumble mixture comes to the top, ensuring it browns in the oven. Leith's used 250g hard butter fudge, chopped into small pieces- Sainsbury's Taste the Difference hard butter fudge. The system wouldn't take this descripion.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when baked.
- If you don't have fresh black currants, you can use frozen or dried black currants instead. If using frozen, thaw them before using. If using dried, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
- To make the crumble topping, use a combination of flour, butter, and brown sugar. You can also add some oats or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Be sure to press the crumble topping firmly into the apple and black currant mixture before baking. This will help to keep the bars together.
- Bake the bars until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Apple and black currant crumble bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple combination of apples, black currants, and a crumble topping. The apples and black currants provide a sweet and tart flavor, while the crumble topping adds a crunchy texture. These bars are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
