- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You need that heat ready while you prep your dough.
- Mix melted butter, 1 cup sugar, salt, egg yolks, and flour in a big bowl. It looks crumbly at first but keep mixing until you get a firm dough.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan real good. Press two-thirds of that dough evenly into the bottom. You wanna form the crust that holds it all together.
- In a different bowl, mix sliced apples with ¾ cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. That cinnamon smell is gonna make your mouth water.
- Spread that apple mix over your dough in the pan. Make sure it’s nice and even to get good bites every time.
- Crumble the leftover dough on top of the apples. The little chunks bake into a buttery shortbread topping that’s perfectly golden.
- Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. Watch for a golden brown top and bubbly filling. Let cool before slicing; you wanna bars that hold shape.
- Let bars cool completely before serving.
Notes
Serve these bars chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers tightly wrapped to keep the shortbread fresh.
