Apple Pie Bars

This is the same as my mother's recipe that we've had in the family for over 40 years, and is a favorite. The only thing we do differently, is to combine the powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzel over the top. Adds a great sweet-tart touch that complements the bars so well.

Great recipe, I learned to make this about 25yr.ago, its a great apple pie, I love how clean it cuts up and you can serve a lot of people, well maybe not some can't resist having more, thanks for the great photo they are great for a first time baker.

Really good! The crust was very easy to work with & tastes great. I used a can of apple pie filling to save time. Sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar over the filling before topping with the crust.

These are a great fall treat! Super easy and a real crowd pleaser!

I loved it! Although i think it is very hard to get it big enough to fit over the filling. Like if you had to make it bigger, it would be so thin that it would break. so i think that there should be more dough.

This is the first time making these bars. I found them very easy to make (even the dough was very easy to work with). They came out marvelous and will add them to my favorite recipes. Thank you!!!!

This is one of my favorite recipes and I was shocked when I couldn't find my recipe card tonight! Glad to find it on-line and am ready to get it in the oven and serve it to friends tomorrow!

I would rate it 5 stars.
I asked my husband what would you rather have Apple bars, apple pie, or apple crisp. He answered without hesitation LOL apple bars. I have made this recipe for years, for some reason the crust always turns out better than my pie crust. The corn flakes adds another layer of flavor.

I've made this recipe several times and everyone loves it. Be warned, it's a bit labor-intensive, so allow plenty of time. The dough is tricky and you might end up piecing it together (no one will know the difference after it's baked and glazed). It's delicious though, freezes well, and serves a large crowd.

My mother made this recipe for years using apples from the tree in our backyard. Seeing the recipe brings back warm and delicious memories of my mother and that time of my life. I developed a cookbook of family recipes through the generations several years ago and this recipe is one under my mother's name. My four sisters and I continue to make this recipe when the whole family gathers and we all remember our mom while we enjoy these bars. The recipe does take some time to complete, but the end result is well worth the time and energy.

These bars are the perfect solution if you wish to make an apple pie for a large group. They took awhile to make, between slicing the apples and rolling the dough. However, they are worth the effort and does your home smell wonderful while they are baking! Instead of the cinnamon/nutmeg, I used the "apple pie spice" from Penzey's Spices and that worked really well and my guess is added some extra flavor. I will plan to add these to my holiday baking recipes!

This is a real crowd pleaser. These bars traveled 8 hours by car to a family event 2 states away! We arrived late at night, and in the morning I woke to found my aunt had already cut the bars in anticipation. They served like a dream! We had them for breakfast with cereal and fruit and they were excellent. This recipe makes a lot of bars, so we had leftovers as treats after dinner, and a few slivers left for breakfast the next day. Total comfort bars!

I've made these bars in the past, and when I needed an apple desert for my son's engagement party, I hunted this one down in my Favorite Brand Name Cookies cookbook. Everyone loved them and several asked for the recipe.
It's not hard to make, the ingredient list is not long, and all of the ingredients are likely to be in my pantry.
By the way, I used Land O Lakes butter and King Arthur Flour's Pastry Blend flour. This could not have been more tasty.

Very delicious and easy to make. I always come home with an empty pan. This is one my families favorites.

This recipe was YUMMY! My husband's new favorite.

great recipe.best eaten the same day. leftovers were a little mushy

I make these squares each year at Xmas. The taste is the same as eating apple pie but easier to make. The crust is excellent and very flakey. These squares are a permanent staple for my family. Thank U ;-)

I work at Tanglewood village, a independent living facility. I make these guite often. They are delicious and easy to make and the residents love them.

I've shared this recipe with many friends. Nice to have a square of apple pie on the cookie tray. And best of all has better staying powers than pie...if any is left!
