Jersey Apple and Cinnamon Crumble Bars

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Cut in the cold, cubed Jersey butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Press half of the crumble mixture into the prepared baking pan to form a base crust.

In a separate bowl, combine the chopped Jersey apples, lemon juice, grated Jersey Royal, cornstarch, and ground ginger. Mix well.

Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust.

Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling.

Optional: Brush the top with Jersey milk and sprinkle with demerara sugar for extra sweetness and a golden crust.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.

Let the crumble bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the filling to set properly.
