Integrate cheddar cheese into the crust for a savory note to these not-too-sweet bars.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13" cake pan with cooking spray. Line with a long strip of parchment so that the ends stick up past the pan on both ends. Spray again with the non-stick cooking spray.
Whisk together Flour, Sugar and Salt in a large bowl. Add Cheese and stir to coat in Flour, making sure to break up clumps. Beat in the Butter until crumbly. Remove 2/3 of the dough to a lightly floured board and knead just until smooth.
Press the smooth portion of the dough into the bottom of the prepared cake pan to form a 1/4" thick base.
Spread the cooled compote mixture over dough to create a 1" thick layer. Sprinkle the crumbled dough over top. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Cool in fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into rectangles.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Serve with a small scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.
For Apple Compote:
Place ingredients in a wide pot, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Helpful Tips:
1. Keep the batter cold!
2. Mix wet ingredients first, and then add the apple pieces to make the compote.
3. Add a pinch of cayenne to add a savory flavor.
4. Half of the cheddar shortbread is used for the bottom layer, and the other half is used to make the crumble.
