Easy Apple Pie Bars Recipe
Description
These apple pie bars are made by creaming softened butter with sugar, then mixing in eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, flour, and salt to form a batter. Three cups of this batter are spread into a greased pan and topped evenly with canned apple pie filling. The remaining batter is dropped in small spoonfuls over the filling to create a crumbly top layer.
They bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, indicating the bars are fully cooked. Once cooled, a glaze of powdered sugar combined with cinnamon, vanilla, almond extracts, and milk is drizzled over the bars for added sweetness and flavor.
The bars have a tender, buttery texture with cinnamon notes balancing the sweet apple filling. They work as a portable dessert or snack, offering an easy way to enjoy apple pie flavors without making a traditional pie crust or slices.
Ingredients
- 1 c. butter softened
- 2 c. sugar
- 4 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 3 c. flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cans 21 ounce apple pie filling
Glaze
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 Tbsp milk
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Add cinnamon, flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Spread 3 cups of the batter in a greased jelly roll pan. Spread pie filling on top of dough. Drop remaining dough by tablespoonfuls on top of apple pie topping.
- Baked at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool.
- Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over bars. If serving the next day wait and do this before serving or the bars will be a bit soggy! I store in the refrigerated to keep them firm but you wouldn't need too.
