Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 360 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 300 grams apple butter
- 60 grams chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet butter-sugar mixture until it forms a crumbly dough.
Step 5
Press half of the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the bottom crust.
Step 6
Spread the apple butter evenly over the bottom crust, leaving about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) of space around the edges to prevent overflow.
Step 7
If using chopped pecans, sprinkle them evenly over the apple butter layer.
Step 8
Crumble the remaining dough over the apple butter layer to create the top crust, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Step 10
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy!
