These Apple Pie Bars are better than regular Apple Pie. I’m not exactly sure why because they’re so similar... but they just are. This is my Mother-in-law’s recipe and I remember when I was pregnant and on bedrest for a few months in the fall, she brought me apple pie bars. It made me so happy! A few years after I had the girls though, my body changed and no longer tolerated gluten very well. It took some time to figure everything out, but I now make these bars gf/df so we can all enjoy them!! They of course can be made with all the gluten and dairy.. just like to offer this option as well. Recipe on blog as well. INGREDIENTS 2 pie crusts (of your choice) 7-8 cups apples (peeled and thinly sliced) 3 Tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar 2 Tbsp cinnamon 1 egg (whisked) olive or avocado oil spray 1 cup powdered sugar 2-3 Tbsp milk (of your choice) 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Spray the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with olive or avocado oil. 3. Using your fingers, press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of the pan and up the sides about an inch or so. 4. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, cinnamon and coconut sugar and pour the apple mixture on top of the pie crust. 5. Roll out the other half of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. You want to roll it into more of a rectangle shape (not round like it will most likely want to). 6. Once it’s all rolled out, peel the top piece of parchment off and using the bottom piece, flip it on top of the apples. 7. Carefully remove the parchment paper and press the dough together on the edges with your fingers. 8. Using a knife, make a few cuts in the top of the crust. 9. Then brush on the egg wash. 10. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or so until the crust is golden brown. 11. While that is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla or almond extract. Add more milk if needed until you get a semi-runny consistency. 12. Remove apple pie bars and allow to mostly cool. 13. Drizzle glaze all over the top and spread with a knife. 14. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping (optional). #glutenfree #dairyfree #applebars #fallrecipes
