Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Combine flour, 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup white sugar, egg, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor, pulse until crumbled and easily formed into dough when pinched. Pour 3/4 of the dough into the prepared pan, press down with your hands until crust is even and well packed.

  3. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, cook and stir until apples are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch, mix, adding more cornstarch if needed, until liquids are thickened.

  4. Pour apple mixture onto crust, smooth with a spatula until even. Crumble remaining dough on top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until crumbles on top are lightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, cut into bars.
