Apple Pie Crumble Bars

With a buttery crust, thick apple pie filling and crispy crumb topping these Apple Pie Crumble Bars are a fall dessert that is hard to resist.

I don’t know if you remember my Apple Cinnamon Blondies from last year, but they were one of my favorite fall treats.  They were a part of Rachel’s An Apple a Day series.  Well, this year she is hosting again and of course I had to bring my A-game!

So far over there you can find Apple and Salted Caramel Ice Cream (drool), Caramelized Apple & Cheddar Cheese Soft Pretzels (What?!), and Apple Cider Donuts (three ways!) among other things.

I actually baked these Apple Pie Crumble Bars a few weeks ago, before apple season had really even started.  I wanted an apple dessert that I could bake ahead of time for Rosh Hashanah and that would travel well.

These bars were the perfect solution.  They were a little bit of a baking project, but with Matt in the kitchen helping (he made the filling), they really weren’t too complicated.  If he hadn’t helped I probably would have just skipped the peeling of the apples:-)

They were a huge hit for the holiday, though I imagine they would have been an even bigger hit warmed up and smothered with ice cream… next time, next time.
