Apple & Cinnamon Crumble Bars

Step 1:

Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a square baking dish (8x8 inches) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2:

Make the Crust & Crumble: In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, melted butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Stir until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.

Step 3:

Assemble the Bars: Press half of the crumble mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.

In a separate bowl, toss the frozen diced apples with honey and cinnamon for added sweetness and spice.

Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust.

Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the apples, ensuring an even layer.

Step 4:

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling slightly at the edges.

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the dish.

Step 5:

Slice & Serve: Once cooled, lift the bars using the parchment overhang and place them on a cutting board.

Slice into squares or rectangles for serving.
