Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup white sugar, egg, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until crumbled and easily formed into dough when pinched. Pour 3/4 of the dough into the prepared pan; press down with your hands until crust is even and well packed.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; cook and stir until apples are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch; mix, adding more cornstarch if needed, until liquids are thickened.
  • Pour apple mixture onto crust; smooth with a spatula until even. Crumble remaining dough on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crumbles on top are lightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; cut into bars.
