Cinnamon Apple Pie Bars

Servings:

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

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.
