Salted Caramel Apple Crumble Bars are a delicious and comforting fall treat, perfect for savoring during the season.
Equipment
- 9×13 inch baking pan
Ingredients
Crust and Topping
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 2 sticks
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup salted caramel sauce
Filling
- 3 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples about 3 medium
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Add flour and stir until crumbly. Press about two-thirds of the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, toss sliced apples with cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread apple mixture over the crust in the pan.
- Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the apples. Crumble the remaining flour mixture over the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
Use your favorite type of apple, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji. Homemade or store-bought salted caramel sauce works well. Ensure the bars are completely cool before cutting to prevent them from falling apart.
