Description

Delight in the warm, comforting flavors of homemade apple pie bars, a perfect blend of buttery crust and spiced apple filling. These scrumptious bars are not only easy to prepare but also ideal for family gatherings, cozy evenings at home, or as a sweet treat to share with friends. With every bite, you’ll experience the essence of traditional apple pie without the fuss of slicing a whole pie. Serve them warm or chilled, perhaps accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent twist.


Ingredients

– 4 cups peeled and diced apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)

– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– ½ cup packed brown sugar

– ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)

– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. In a bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter and vanilla; mix until crumbly.

3. Reserve one cup of this mixture for topping. Press the rest into the prepared dish.

4. Toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon; spread over crust.

5. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture on top.

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

– Chilling the dough helps achieve a flakier crust.

– Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger for added flavor.
