Cinnamon Apple Pie Bars

Ingredients

• 1 package double-crust pie pastry , 14.1 ounce
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.33 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 3 Grannys Smith apples , peeled and sliced, or more to taste
• 3 galas apples , peeled and sliced, or more to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Unroll 1 pastry crust onto a work surface; lightly roll with a rolling pin until crust is a 9x13-inch rectangle, trimming crust if needed. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, placing leftover crust pieces in the corners.

3. 3

   Whisk white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until combined. Add Granny Smith apples and gala apples to sugar mixture; toss until evenly coated. Spread apple mixture evenly over crust; pour remaining juices over apples.

4. 4

   Roll remaining pie pastry on a work surface to a 9x13-inch rectangle and place over apple layer, folding the edges over apples to completely cover.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly, about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Make topping: Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth, adding more milk as needed to reach the desired consistency. Drizzle over bars.
