Apple Pie Bars Recipe - the Deliciousness of Pie, the Simplicity of Bars
I used to make a recipe similar to this one all the time - and people just love these apple pie bars! Thanks to Jenny H for sending this one in...The glaze with a little touch of lemon sounds scrumptious.
Here is a delicious recipe for Apple Pie Bars that I got from Taste of Home. Everytime I make them I get asked for the recipe.
APPLE PIE BARS - about 2 dozen
4 cups flour
4 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
2 TBL lemon juice
1 tsp baking powder
8 - 10 TBL. cold water
1 cup shortening
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks, lemon juice and water; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide in half. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out 1 portion of dough between 2 large sheets of waxed paper into a 17-in x 12-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased 15-in x 10-in x 1-in. baking pan. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of pan; trim pastry even with top edge.
Filling:
7 cups finely chopped peeled apples
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
In a bowl, toss the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; spread over crust. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pan; place over filling. Trim edges; brush
edges between pastry with water or milk; pinch to seal. Cut slits in top. Bake at 375 for 45 - 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over bars before cutting.
Glaze
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 TBL milk
1 TBL lemon juiceLabels: apple pie bars, apples, bake sales, bars and squares, cinnamon, nutmeg
