Apple Caramel Bars
Our Apple Caramel Bars recipe was developed in collaboration with Movers & Bakers.
These delectable and delicious caramel apple bars make the best of the abundance of the season’s apples! The cinnamon spiked apples are encased in a wonderfully buttery shortbread base and topping before being finished with a flourish of a caramel drizzle. Autumnal heaven!
For the shortbread base and crumble topping:
Plain flour
Granulated sugar
Salt
Vanilla
Unsalted butter

Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (use a tart variety such as Granny Smith, Bramley, etc),

For the topping:
You will also need:
8” square tin, lined with parchment

For the shortbread crust: mix together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl or pulse in a food processor. Add in the room temperature butter and vanilla, then rub in or pulse until the mixture resembles damp breadcrumbs.
Step 3 of 6
In a separate bowl, mix together the apple filling ingredients, ensuring all the apples are well coated.
Step 4 of 6
Tip about ¾ of the shortbread mixture into the prepared tin and press down evenly into a flat layer. Lay the apple slices in an even layer over the shortbread base. Press down gently to help flatten the apples. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top of the apples, ensuring you cover everything as evenly as possible
Step 5 of 6
Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until golden on top. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
