Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 149°C (300°F). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang on all sides.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Cut in the cold butter until it looks like coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until needed.
3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and mix until combined. Press evenly into the pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned at the edges.
4. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until evenly coated.
5. Raise the oven temperature to 177°C (350°F).
6. Spread the apple filling evenly over the warm crust, pressing the slices down into a tight, even layer. Scatter the cold streusel over the top.
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the streusel is golden brown.
8. Cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
9. Lift the bars out using the parchment, cut into squares, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using.
