     Apple-Cinnamon Fruit Bars

Sub Category   None
Servings   18 bars
Preptime   165 min

Ingredients
1 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large eggs
2 tablespoons canola oil
 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
6 cups diced peeled apples, divided
1/2 cup apple cider or orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To prepare crust- Combine 3/4 cup nuts (or oats), whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Add butter; pulse until well incorporated. Whisk egg, oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla and almond extract in a small bowl. With the motor running, add the mixture to the food processor. Process, then pulse, scraping down the sides, if necessary, until the mixture begins to clump, 30 to 45 seconds (it will look crumbly). Measure out 1/2 cup of the mixture and combine in a bowl with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped nuts (or oats). Set aside for the topping.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. To prepare fruit filling & assemble bars- Combine 4 cups apples, cider (or orange juice), sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is very thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 cups apples, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and press firmly into the bottom to form a crust. Spread the fruit filling over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved topping over the filling. Bake the bars for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and bake until the crust and topping are lightly brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cool completely before cutting into bars, at least 1 1/2 hours.
