Apple Crumble Bars
Apple Crumble Bars are a delightful twist on the classic apple crumble, offering the same comforting flavors in a convenient, portable form. These bars feature a buttery, crumbly topping and a spiced apple filling that’s both sweet and tangy.
They’re perfect for a cozy fall treat, a picnic dessert, or a simple after-school snack. With their crisp edges and tender apple center, these bars combine the best elements of a traditional crumble with the practicality of bar cookies.
Ingredients:
For the Crust and Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
For the Apple Filling:
- 3 cups peeled and diced apples (about 3 medium apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
How to Make:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Prepare the Crust and Topping:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the rolled oats. Reserve about 1 cup of this mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Prepare the Apple Filling:

In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and flour until well coated.
Assemble the Bars:
Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust in the baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake the Bars:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly. If the topping is browning too quickly, cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Cool and Slice:
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Once cooled, cut into squares.
Serve:
Serve as a delicious treat on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Chef’s Note: For a touch of extra flavor, you can add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the crumb topping. If you prefer a sweeter filling, increase the granulated sugar to 1/3 cup. The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerated for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 2 months—just be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
