Tips:
1. Use a sharp knife to slice the apples evenly and thinly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy. 2. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butter into the flour mixture using a cheese grater. 3. Be sure to pack the brown sugar mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help prevent the bars from becoming too crumbly. 4. Bake the bars until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will take about 30-35 minutes. 5.
