You only need a few simple ingredients to make these delicious and simple apple pie bars.

Today I am sharing another recipe with apples. You already know how delectable and simple to make my strawberry bars are if you’ve made them. I decided to share a fall version of them.

I use my cinnamon shortbread cookie recipe for the dough. These apple pie bars have a soft and crunchy shortbread crust. To make these straightforward, homemade apple pie bars, you’ll use the same dough for the crust and the crumbles.

Apple crumbles with a thick crust and cinnamon are delicious and ideal throughout the year, but especially in the fall and winter.

Yield: 12

Ingredients:

• 1 cup softened butter (in a pinch, I’ve also used melted butter)
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Apple pie filling in a 21-ounce can (use two if you prefer more apple filling)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup powder sugar
• 1 12 tbsp milk (or water) (approximately; add milk or water until you reach a drizzle-able consistency Start with 1 1/2 tbsp).

Instruction:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying oil or non-stick cooking spray on the bottom.
2. Use a hand mixer to combine the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a sizable mixing bowl. Adding and incorporating the eggs one at a time
3. Sift the flour and baking powder into the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until the flour is completely incorporated.
4. Make sure the batter is distributed evenly in the prepared 9×13 baking dish by pouring 2/3 of it in. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the batter before adding the apple pie filling. Dot the top of the apples with the remaining batter.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and the top and edges are golden. A glass baking dish requires 30-35 minutes of cooking time. Make the powder sugar glaze by combining the powder sugar with the milk (or water) while the cake is baking.
