oo Well: Scarlet Apple Cranberry Crumble Bars

"Create a nostalgic bake called All Too Well (10 Minute Version) Scarlet Apple–Cranberry Crumble Bars with Salted Maple Drizzle, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version).’ Vibe: long drive, box of Polaroids, red scarf on the banister—tart-sweet and strewn with crumbs.Core: press-in oat shortbread crust that doubles as the crumble topping (old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, fine salt, melted butter).Filling: thin-sliced apples + fresh or frozen cranberries (don’t thaw), brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, pinch ginger, tiny pinch salt.Method: line a 9×13 pan with a parchment sling. Mix crust/crumble; press 2/3 firmly into pan. Toss fruit with sugar/lemon/cornstarch/spices; spread evenly. Crumble remaining 1/3 over top. Bake at 350°F until the top is deep golden and the filling bubbles through (35–45 min). Cool completely for neat bars.Finish: quick salted maple drizzle (powdered sugar + pure maple syrup + pinch fine salt + drops of milk/water to thin).Serve: cut into 16–20 squares; optional scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream.Include: yield 16–20; total time ~1 hour plus cooling; exact ingredient amounts (cups/grams); step-by-step; cues for doneness (bubbling at center, not just edges); clean-slice tip (chill 30–60 min); storage (airtight 3–4 days; freeze up to 2 months).Swaps: GF (1:1 GF flour + certified GF oats); DF/vegan (plant butter, maple only); nutty option (½ cup chopped pecans in crumble); less-sweet option (reduce brown sugar a touch, keep maple drizzle light).Plating: golden crumble ‘memories’ with glossy scarlet streaks—the red scarf in dessert form. Home-kitchen simple, zero fussy techniques"
