These easy Apple Pie Bars have all the flavor of an apple pie with a buttery crust and sweet apple pie filling but in an easy-to-serve bar! A SIMPLE APPLE BAR DESSERT RECIPE These Apple Pie Bars are the perfect treat to whip up whenever you want something sweet that isn’t a ton of effort but still has that homemade touch. If you’re a huge Apple Pie, then you are sure to love these bars! The soft, buttery crust pairs perfectly with the warm spiced apple filling. They’re great for potlucks, parties, or a sweet and cozy night at home. This recipe was inspired by my super popular Cherry Pie Bars and Peach Pie Bars! Easy to make with simple ingredients. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Can I use other pie fillings? Certainly. You can make this dessert with any pie filling you enjoy, such as cherry, peach, blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries. You could even do half one filling and use a different filling flavor for the other half. What size pan is best to use? I suggest using a larger baking sheet for this recipe. You may even know it as a jelly roll pan. Can I make these in advance? Yes. I wouldn’t make it more than 24 hours though. I prefer them fresh but it certainly can be done and they are best eaten at room temperature (if not slightly warm) in my opinion. Any tips for spreading the dough? You can use a rubber spatula to help spread the dough. If you don’t mind using your clean hands, I would spray with baking spray or a little oil and use your hands to help spread the dough out. What other topping can I use? Instead of making the glaze, you can use a drizzle of caramel sauce. Or try serving with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. What else can I add to these? You can add chopped walnuts or pecans before adding the apple pie filling.  How long are leftovers good for? These don’t last long in my house, they usually get demolished the day I make them (they really are that good!) You can keep the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or up to 5 days in the fridge. I prefer them served at room temperature or slightly warm. But, you can enjoy them warm or chilled, and they taste even better the next day. Can I freeze these? Yep! My suggestion would be to slice them then individually wrap them then put in a freezer safe ziplock bag for no longer than 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) apple pie filling – want to make your own apple pie filling? Go for it! Use your favorite recipe (you’ll need about 5 1/4 cups of apple pie filling for this recipe.) ground cinnamon  – you could also use apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon. unsalted butter– softened to room temperature. If you forgot to pull the stick of butter out of the fridge early enough, use these Tips to Soften Butter Faster. Additionally, salted butter can be used, just omit the salt added later. sugar – sugar substitutes can be used here. I would use a sugar substitute like Splenda for baking where it’s a 1:1 substitution. salt large eggs – if you have time, allow the eggs to come to room temperature. This helps them mix into the batter much easier. vanilla extract all-purpose flour powdered sugar – this is going to be for the icing to drizzle on top. As I said above, if you wanted to switch it up, you could use a caramel drizzle as well. milk HOW TO MAKE APPLE PIE BARS: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and about 2-3 Tablespoons milk to reach desired consistency. Set aside (note: this step can be done while the bars are baking too.) To a bowl add 2 (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling. Cut the apple slices into thirds or halves. Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until combined. Set aside.  Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened to room temperature, 2 cups sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until light and fluffy. Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour. Spread 3 cups of dough into a greased 15×10-inch baking pan. Spread 2 (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling evenly on top. Drop remaining dough by teaspoonfuls over filling. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze on top.
