Apple Bars

It's almost apple season, and here is a sweet treat to help make the most of the upcoming apple season. This was a major contender for a Holiday Hints
treat, but was a bit much work for mass production. I don't remember the source of the recipe, but I do remember how good they tasted.

Crust:
3/4 c butter, softened
1/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 t Vanilla
2 1/2 c Flour
1/4 t Salt

Blend with mixer on low until mixture starts to hold together. Press into a greased 10 X 15 inch pan.

Filling:
5 c Apples, sliced thin
2 T Lemon juice
1/2 c Sugar
3 T Flour
1/2 t Cinnamon
1/4 t Salt

Mix together and pour over crust.

Topping:
1 c Flour
1/2 c Brown sugar
6 T Butter

Mix flour and brown sugar together. Cut in the butter and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle over the filling. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting and serving.
