2 sticks (16 tbsp) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for dish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9X13 inch baking dish. Simmer apples, cherries, and cider in a covered saucepan, stirring occasionally, until fruits are softened and plump, about 5 mins. Drain, reserving 2 tbsp liquid. Let cool.
Coarsely chop fruit. Combine with 2 tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and reserved cooking liquid.
Whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and remaining 3/4 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbs range in size from peas to gum balls. Press 4 cups of oat mixture into bottom of prepared dish. Spread fruit filling on top, leaving a 1/4 inch border on all sides. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture on top.
Bake until golden brown, about 35 mins. Let cool in dish on wire rack. Cut into 24 bars. Bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
