Snickerdoodle Apple Bars

While looking for a new fall recipe, I came across these bars. (https://whatmollymade.com/snickerdoodle-apple-pie-bars/#_a5y_p=6753611) They are a delicious combination of an apple cobbler and crisp. They are best with whipped cream or ice cream on top.

Ingredients: 

2 1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp kosher salt

1 1/2 sticks butter, melted

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

extra cinnamon for sprinkling

Apple filling:

2-3 apples, peeled and thinly sliced

2 Tbsp flour

2 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Spray a 9x9 inch pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium size mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars for about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix on low until just combined.

Put about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the 9x9 pan. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake for 15 minutes.

While the dough is baking, combine the apple slices, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. When the bottom layer is done, pour the apple mixture on top and press down.

Break up the remaining dough into small spoonfuls and place on top of the apples. Sprinkle with more cinnamon.

Bake for 35-40 more minutes. Let cool a little before serving.
