Fall-inspired apple crisp bars with browned butter dough.
Ingredients:
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.667 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cups chopped apples
  • tablespoon packed brown sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
Instructions:
  • Melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Be attentive to prevent burning. Transfer to a bowl and freeze until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
  • In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook until apples are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and toss with 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Enjoy!
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides.
  • Mix flour, oats, 2/3 cup brown sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Grate or chop frozen browned butter finely. Blend butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Add egg yolk and vanilla; stir with a fork until a crumbly dough forms. Press two-thirds of the dough (2 2/3 cups) evenly into the baking pan.
  • Bake until golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Spread the delicious apple mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining dough in crumbles on top. Bake until beautifully golden brown, for approximately 25 minutes. Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to easily lift the bars and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into delectable squares and enjoy!
