Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for the crust and topping.

Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it forms a crumbly texture, resembling coarse meal.

Stir in the large egg until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Press half of this crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the greased 9x13-inch pan to form the base layer.

In a separate medium bowl, toss the peeled, diced apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg until the apples are well coated.

Spread the prepared apple filling evenly over the pressed crust layer in the pan.

Take the remaining half of the crust mixture and crumble it evenly over the apple filling to create the topping.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.

Allow the apple crumb bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This can take about 1 hour.
