Well, it’s Halloween night and I’ve just finished handing out eight bags of candy, so I can now concentrate on my delinquent TWD posts. These Crumb-Topped Apple Bars…I made them a few weeks ago, but getting a post up seems more work than baking sometimes…I let it slide. These were delicious, though. Just like apple crumble pie (my favorite variety of apple pie), but easier. The crust and crumb topping are made from the same brown sugar cookie dough. I added rains and walnuts to my apple filling. I made a half batch of the bars, but probably could have done with a full, since I found that they did freeze really well. Ice cream and caramel sauce seemed natural partners for these, but they were also great straight-up.

For the recipe, see Dorie’s Cookies by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and please join us if you haven’t already!

The ice cream and caramel sauce looks so good. I made these for a party and they were a big hit.

They look so tempting with ice cream and caramel sauce, almost like a sundae. I didn’t make these but now I’m really tempted. Yes m!

I love the idea of ice cream and caramel sauce. I haven’t made these yet. Your photo tells me I need to make them a priority.
