Apple Pie Bites

Combine:
2 cups flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cut In:
6 tablespoons salted butter - melted
3 tablespoons milk

Stir Into The Streusel:
3 tablespoons salted butter - melted

Toss Together:
3 1/2 - 4 cups Granny Smith Apples, peeled and diced
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350*. Coat a 10 inch spring form pan with nonstick spray.

Combine: 2 cups flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the base and streusel mixture in a large bowl. Transfer 3/4 cup of this mixture into a small bowl and reserve for later.

Cut: 6 tablespoons melted butter and milk into the remaining dry ingredients in your large bowl using a fork or your fingers. Pat the mixture into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to tap down the dough. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until set and the edges are slightly golden brown.

Stir: Melted butter into the reserved streusel mixture until sandy; set aside.

Toss: All ingredients for the filling together. Arrange over the hot base, pushing apple pieces to the edges of the pan to completely cover the crust. Sprinkle apples with the streusel topping, and bake until apples are soft and streusel is golden, about 30-40 minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes before removing the side of the pan and cutting into bites. Store bars at room temperature or chill.
