Glazed Apple Pie Squares image

These apple squares are a good change from apple pie since they are glazed and a little bit sweeter. The dough is firm enough that you can eat them with your hands and are best when apples are in season. -Diane Turner, Brunswick, Ohio

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup lukewarm low-fat milk
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 lbs apples, peeled and cored and very thinly sliced
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • To make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk - set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast and salt. Add butter chunks - cut it in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Divide in half, wrap in saran wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Roll one piece of dough into a 12" x 17" rectangle - because the dough will be quite thin, you will want to roll the dough out onto a large sheet of parchment so it will be easier to handle. Carefully flip the dough into a 13" x 18" half-sheet pan - smooth out the corners and dough if needed.
  • To make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Spread the apples over the prepared dough - scatter the sugar mixture evenly over the apples. Roll out the other piece of dough in the same fashion and place it over the apples. Pinch the edges together. Cut steam vents in the top. Cover with plastic wrap lightly coated with nonstick spray - let rise in a cool place for about 1 hour.
  • After about 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 350.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and place pan on a rack to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • To make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle it over the bars. Cool completely.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a quality cream cheese. This will make the frosting smooth and creamy.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to the pan.
  • If you don't have time to make the frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.
  • For a more decadent dessert, top the frosted apple squares with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Frosted apple squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying treat that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give frosted apple squares a try.
