It has taken me a while to find a good apple bar recipe, but finally, with some different trials, I have found one with a great balance of cinnamon and nutmeg. Not to mention, it is so much easier than apple pie, and I think it tastes better. You can arrange the top crust lattice-style if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 , 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
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
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
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
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
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly, about 20 minutes.

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.

Air Fryer Roasted Salsa
This simple restaurant-style salsa is made with vegetables that are first roasted in your air fryer. Roasting adds an extra depth of flavor, while mellowing the usual bite you'd get from the onion and garlic. If you have an air fryer with a smaller basket, you can halve the recipe or roast the veggies in 2 batches. The longer you let the salsa sit, the better it becomes!
