Cinnamon Apple Pie Bars image

It has taken me a while to find a good recipe, but finally with some different trials I find this has 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.

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced, or more to taste
3 gala apples, peeled and sliced, or more to taste
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 dash vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Roll 1 pie crust pastry onto a work surface; lightly roll with a rolling pin until crust is a 9x13-inch rectangle, cutting crust if needed. Press crust into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, placing leftover crust pieces in the corners.
  • Whisk white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Toss Granny Smith apples and gala apples in sugar mixture until evenly coated. Spread apple mixture evenly over pie crust; pour remaining juices over apples.
  • Roll the remaining pie crust to 9x13-inch rectangle and place over apple layer, folding edges over apples to completely cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool apple bars slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until topping is smooth and desired consistency; drizzle over bars.

These apple pie bars are a must-try! They're the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and flaky.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but these bars were still really good. The apples and crust were cooked perfectly.

The recipe was unclear about the baking time. I ended up overcooking the bars, so they were a bit dry.

The bars turned out a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still delicious.

I love the unique twist of using cinnamon in the apple pie filling. It adds a delightful warmth and spice to the bars.

These apple pie bars were a hit with my family! The filling was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, and the crust was flaky and golden brown.
