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. 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.
