  • Use a variety of apples for the filling. This will give your dessert squares a more complex flavor.
  • Be sure to slice the apples thinly so that they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have any pie crust mix, you can use a store-bought pie crust or make your own from scratch.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the dessert squares. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Let the dessert squares cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
