Ingredients

Shortbread Crust:

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Apple Filling:

  • 3 large apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced (I used a mix of Granny Smith & Gala)
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Streusel:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed

Topping:

  • 2 full-size Snickers candy bar chopped into bite size pieces
  • salted caramel sauce homemade or store-bought

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on all sides for easier removal of bars. Set aside.
  2. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt together. Stir in flour and mix until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 8-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling and streusel.
  4. Make the apple filling: In a large bowl, place the sliced apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together and gently toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
  5. Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Stir in oats. Using a pastry cutter, two forks or clean hands, cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven.
  7. Layer the apple filling evenly on top of the warm crust, pressing them down to fit. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples and bake for 30–35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. To speed up chilling time, place in refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
  9. Remove bars from pan using the overhang from the foil or parchment to lift.
  10. Cut into bars. Drizzle each bar with salted caramel sauce and top with Snickers pieces. Serve warm or chilled.

Recipe Notes

The bars will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
