APPLE CRUMBLE BARS
Dried apples make these fruity bars easy to enjoy any time of year-or any time of day. They're as delicious for breakfast as they are topped with ice cream for dessert. I make these a lot for bake sales, too.

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 CINNAMON CRUMBLE BARS
Taken from 'Baking and Desserts' cook book - Tasty Tip : The apple filling in this recipe is very similar to American apple butter. To make apple butter, cook the filling in step 2 for a further 30 minutes over a very low heat, stirring often. When reduced to one-third of its origional volume (it should be quite dark) then it is ready. It is also delicious spread on toast.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your crumble bars a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overcook the crumble bars. Overcooked crumble bars will be dry and crumbly. Bake them until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the crumble bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
- Serve the crumble bars warm or at room temperature. They can be topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
