Ingredients
1. For dough and crumbs
2. For apple filling
3. For topping and sauce
Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a mold approximately 20x30 cm or line it with baking paper; So you can easily remove the bars.
Knead the dough-crumb mixture
Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and crumble it with your fingertips until it resembles sand. Add the milk slowly and obtain a mixture that comes together and takes shape when pressed; Don't knead too much.
Press the bottom layer
Pour about 2/3 of the mixture into the mold. Press firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a glass to an equal thickness.
Bake the apple filling
Put the chopped apple, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg into the pot. Cook over medium heat, turning, for 8–12 minutes; Let the apple soften slightly and absorb excess water. Take it off the stove and let it cool.
Form the layers
Spread the warmed apple mixture evenly over the base. Sprinkle remaining dough-crumbs on top; It doesn't matter if there is a gap in between, it will come together when cooked.
Bake and let rest
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, until the top is light golden brown. Cool completely in the mold; If you cut it before it cools down, it may fall apart.
Make milk vanilla powder sauce
Take the powdered sugar in a bowl. Add milk and vanilla and mix until it reaches a fluid consistency; If necessary, increase the milk by 1–2 teaspoons.
Slice and serve
Slice the cooled bars into squares or rectangles. Pour thin sauce over it and serve.
