Apple Cranberry Crisp Bars /November 10, 2016 by Chelsea Zwieg It's apple crisp time! I'm keeping it short and sweet today because I have been baking away all day long and now I really just want to watch This Is Us, cry a little (what is it about that show??), and sleep for a very long time. But first, I want to tell you all about these bars. As a supporter of pretty much all desserts, except for stupid ones like italian ice or anything with cool whip, I have a hard time picking a favorite. That being said, I think that apple crisp (warm, with ice cream obviously) is right up there at the top. That whole warm cinnamon spiced apple thing with buttery crispy oats and a giant puddle of semi-melted ice cream just gets me every time. In the spirit of Thanksgiving (never too early to choose what you're making for dessert), I made apple crisp a bit more portable. One that's easier to transport from your kitchen to the next and doesn't require you to demand 40 minutes of oven time from a frazzled turkey stressed host. Although I have to say, these are pretty good cold but warm, they are absolutely golden. So maybe beg for a few minutes of oven time post-turkey to get these all warmed up.

The base and crumble on these bars is an unbelievably simple mix of oats, butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon. The crust gets a little head start in the oven to get golden then gets layered with sugared apples and cranberries and topped with a super thick layer of crumble that gets perfectly crispy in the oven. The crumble on top also gets mixed with crushed gingersnaps because apples + cranberries + gingerbread is a combo that I never want to leave behind. Apple Cranberry Crisp Bars
