Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Cinnamon Apple Pie Bars.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your bars bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
Step 2
Next, roll out one pie crust on a clean surface until it forms a rectangle measuring about 9x13 inches. If needed, trim the edges to fit. Gently press this crust into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, using any leftover pieces to fill in the corners.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. This fragrant mixture will be the perfect coating for your apples! Toss the sliced Granny Smith and Gala apples in this sugar blend until they are well coated, ensuring every slice is infused with flavor.
Step 4
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the prepared pie crust, and don’t forget to pour any remaining juices over the apples for extra moisture and sweetness.
Step 5
Roll out the second pie crust to the same 9x13-inch size and carefully place it over the apple layer. Fold the edges over the apples to create a nice seal, ensuring no filling escapes during baking.
Step 6
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the apples are bubbling with deliciousness. The aroma will fill your kitchen and have everyone eagerly waiting!
Step 7
Once baked, let the apple bars cool for about 20 minutes. This will help them set and make slicing easier.
Step 8
For a delightful finishing touch, whisk together some confectioners' sugar, milk, and a splash of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle this sweet glaze over the cooled bars for an irresistible treat.
