Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees (180C). Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
For the streusel, combine ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour and the rolled oats. Cut in the cold butter until well incorporated. (The mixture will be lumpy.) Chill while preparing the crust and apple mixture.
For the crust, beat softened butter with ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Then beat in 2 + ¼ cups of flour. (The dough will be very soft and crumbly.) Press dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
For the apple mixture, meanwhile, stir together the remaining ¼ cup of flour, and cinnamon. Add the minced apples and lemon juice, and toss to combine.
Spread the apple mixture over the partially baked crust. Sprinkle with the chilled streusel on top.
Bake on the center rack for 25 to 28 minutes, or until lightly browned and set. Cool in pan. Chill the pan for at least one hour.
For the Icing: whisk together the powdered sugar and water to make the icing. Increase the water in teaspoons as needed. Drizzle over cooled bars. Then cut into bars and serve.
