- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- pinch of salt

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Butter an oven safe baking dish. Add 3/4 of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan and press down gently with your fingers, spreading it out evenly. Save 1/4 of the mixture and set aside.

Bake for 5 or so minutes to let the crust set. Meanwhile, dice your apples into very small pieces. Mix in a bowl with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves.
-
Once the crust has set, add your apples to the middle and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top of the apples. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until your apples are juicy and cooked through.

Let the apple crumb bars cool completely. Drizzle with the cinnamon spice glaze and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
I used a 9x13 baking dish for this recipe. I would highly recommend using a smaller dish if you desire thicker crust.
Make sure you dice your apples into very small pieces or they will make the bars fall apart!
