Apple Bars
Made these recently for a church event...everyone wanted the recipe...so thought I would share here also. The recipe came from a quilting friend who recently passed away...she was an expert quilter/appliquer...did most by hand. I will think of her every time I make these.
Apple Bars
Crust:
1-1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
½ cup butter, softened
2 Tbls apple cider
Filling:
1 egg
1-1/2 cups sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup flour
4 cups cups chopped, peeled apples
Topping:
½ cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
FOR CRUST: combine flour, sugar, cinnamon. Cut in butter with pastry blender. Mix in apple cider and press into 9x13 pan.
FOR FILLING: combine egg, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar and flour. Fold in the apples. Spread over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
FOR TOPPING: mix together ingredients. Sprinkle over cake, and bake another 10 minutes.
My variation: Drizzle caramel sauce over top of cake before serving.
Option: Next time I make, I will probably do the topping with only the sugar, cinnamon and nuts, not the flour.

I love apple season. We live near a place called Apple Hill and I always look forward to going up several times each season for a variety of apples. Apple recipes are such a treat, this one is on my list, going to make it today. Thanks so much for sharing.

The butter sounds like a good idea if going to use the flour....otherwise, just leaving the flour out is what I plan on doing the next time I make them. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sounds like a lovely recipe and one that I could make with gluten free flour successfully.
I used to have a recipe that was similar, but used cream cheese instead of sour cream and had sliced almonds too.
