directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat a 10 inch springform pan with removable bottom with nonstick spray.
- Combine 2 cups flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the base and streusel mixtures in a bowl.
- Transfer 3/4 cup of the mixture to a second bowl; set aside for the streusel later.
- Cut 6 tablespoons cold butter and milk into the remaining dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers.
- Mix until clumps form.
- Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to "tamp" down the dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until set and gold at the edges.
- Stir melted butter into the reserved streusel mixture until sandy; set aside.
- Toss all ingredients for the filling (apples, sugar, heavy cream, flour, vanilla, cinnamon and salt) together.
- Arrange over the hot base, pushing apple pieces to the edges of the pan to completely cover the crust.
- Sprinkle apples with the streusel topping, and bake until apples are soft and streusel is golden, 30-40 minutes.
- Cool bars for at least 30 minutes before removing the side of the pan and cutting into wedges.
- Store bars at room temperature or chill.
