Homemade Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars

Preheat oven to 350℉. In a food processor, pulse the Biscoff cookies into a fine crumb, working in batches if needed. Place the cookie crumbs in a medium size mixing bowl, add salt and stir to combine. Mix the vanilla extract with the melted butter and add to the mixing bowl. Stir the butter mixture and cookie crumbs until it just comes together, yet still somewhat loose. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can spray cooking oil with flour into the pan to coat. You can also use butter to grease the pan, then dust with all-purpose flour as well. Using a flat spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup, press the crumbs into an 8x8 baking pan. Prebake the crust on the middle rack in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until just starting to brown. Remove and let cool while making the filling and streusel.

In a separate mixing bowl, add the peeled and sliced apples. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon, nutmeg sugar and flour. Add this dry mix to the apples and stir until the apples are coated on both sides. Set aside.

In a third, separate mixing bowl, add the streusel ingredients, minus the butter. Mix thoroughly. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a fork to press into the dry ingredients until it comes together. The butter should be the size of small peas. You can use your fingers to mix the butter into the dry ingredients, but work quickly as the heat from your hands will melt the butter pretty fast.

Now that the cookie crust has cooled, arrange the apple slices on top. Shingling is the best approach, making sure to create layers. Press down lightly if needed, leaving room for the streusel topping. Once you’ve finished with the apples, scatter the streusel topping across the surface, making sure to cover the dessert fully. Bake in the oven at 350℉ for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove and let cool for 30 minutes, then cover and let it set in the fridge for 3-5 hours. Cut into 9-12 bars, top with some caramel and flaky sea salt and enjoy!
