<\/p>\n
2 T. butter<\/p>\n
7 C. peeled and sliced apples (about 7 medium sized apples)<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup apple cider or juice<\/p>\n
1 T. cornstarch<\/p>\n
2 tsp. cinnamon<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp. nutmeg<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp. salt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 \u00bc C. flour<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup brown sugar<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup sugar<\/p>\n
1 \u00bd C. oats<\/p>\n
\u00bc tsp. salt<\/p>\n
10 T. butter, chilled and cubed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
vanilla ice cream \u2013 for serving, optional<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and set aside. In a large saut\u00e9 pan over medium high heat, melt the butter and add the apples. Stir to coat the apples with the melted butter. Mix the apple cider or juice with the cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the cornstarch is dissolved. Stir into the apples and reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until the apples begin to soften, about 5 \u2013 7 minutes. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a food processor add the flour, sugars, oats, and salt and pulse 4 \u2013 6 times or until the still has some whole oats in it. Do not pulse until the mixture is fine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly with pieces about the size of marbles. In the prepared baking pan, add one-half of the crumb mixture and press down. Layer the apples on top and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture and press down lightly. Bake for 30 minutes. Increase oven to 425 degrees and continue baking until the top of the bars are golden brown, about another 10 – 15 minutes. Let cool and cut into bars. Serve alone or topped with vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
