SALTED CARAMEL APPLE PIE BARS



Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars image

Baking apple pie as bars is so much easier!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Bars

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced (1/4 inch thick)*
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (40g) old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup (70g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
homemade salted caramel or store-bought caramel sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper leaving enough overhang on all sides. Set aside.
  • Stir the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes and then remove from the oven. (As the crust bakes, you can prepare the filling and streusel.)
  • Combine the sliced apples, flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until all of the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Whisk the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry blender or two forks (or even with your hands) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • Turn the oven up to 350°F (177°C). Evenly layer the apples on top of the warm crust. It will look like there are too many apple slices, so layer them tightly and press them down to fit. Sprinkle the apple layer with streusel and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Lift the foil or parchment out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into bars. I usually cut them into 16 smaller bars, but you can cut them into 12 larger bars. Once cut, drizzle some salted caramel sauce on top of each. These apple pie bars can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even cold.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples offer unique flavors and textures. Try using a mix of sweet, tart, and crisp varieties for the best results.
  • Choose fresh apples. Fresh apples will be more flavorful and have a better texture than apples that are past their prime.
  • Slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife. A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the apples thinly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the apples won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the apples occasionally. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the caramel sauce and pecans at the end of the cooking time. This will help the caramel sauce and pecans retain their flavor and texture.
  • Serve the caramel pecan apple slices warm. They're best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Caramel pecan apple slices are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They're perfect for fall gatherings or a quick and tasty treat anytime. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic fall flavor combination.
