Description
These Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars combine the sweet and salty flavors of caramel and apples for a delightful fall treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until you have a crumbly texture.
- Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming a crust.
- Layer the sliced apples evenly over the crust, then drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apples.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top of the caramel-drizzled apples, covering them entirely.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Allow the bars to cool for about 10 minutes, then sprinkle with sea salt before slicing into squares.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute coconut oil for butter and use flaxseed meal as an egg replacer.
