Tips:

  • Make sure your streusel topping is crumbly before baking. If it's too wet, it will turn into a solid mass during baking.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour for the streusel topping.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the dough hold its shape.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving.

Conclusion:

This mock apple pie squares recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
