Apple Crisp Shortbread Bars Recipe

Serving & Storage Tips

These Apple Crisp Shortbread Bars are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored for later. Once they’ve cooled completely, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to freeze them, you can wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap or foil and freeze them for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply microwave or warm them in the oven until they’re heated through.

Tips:

• If you prefer a sweeter bar, you can increase the sugar in the apple filling by an extra tablespoon or two, depending on the sweetness of your apples.
• Granny Smith apples are ideal for this recipe due to their tartness, but you can also experiment with other varieties of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, for a sweeter twist.
• For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle a bit of chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the crumble before baking.
• These bars are versatile enough to be enjoyed as breakfast, dessert, or a snack throughout the day!
