THE BEST APPLE CRISP SHORTBREAD BARS RECIPE

Fall is in the air and school is back in!! Sorry, you know I had to glow-on for a moment there…it’s the most wonderful time of the years after all. With this time of year comes fun times visiting apple orchards and mounds of apples all over my kitchen. One of my fav recipes combines shortbread and apples…how can that be wrong?

I know apples don’t last long in our home…in fact here is one of our favourite Fall dessert recipes which use apples!

Ingredients
Shortbread Base:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Apple Filling:

• 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Topping:

• ½ cup all purpose flour
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup butter - melted or room temp to cut in.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Be sure to bring the parchment up the sides as it makes it easier to lift out later.
2. Shortbread Base:
3. Place butter into your mixer and turn on high for 5 minutes or until the butter turns white rather than yellow, that's how you'll know it's creamed. Next mix in the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Once combined, add in the flour and stir well. Press the mixture into the parchment lined pan and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes.
