This is the only one of the many wonderful recipes that my mother handed down to me. These delicious bars, with their flaky crust and scrumptious fruit filling, are the perfect way to serve apple pie to a crowd. -Janet English, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Glazed Apple Pie Bars Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

30 45 75

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup shortening
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 to 10 tablespoons cold water
FILLING:
7 cups finely chopped peeled apples
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon 2% milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk the 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 one portion of dough between two 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.
In a large 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. Yield: about 2 dozen.

No stars ! Removing this recipe from my Recipe Box - No apple pie taste and not enough taste at all - followed the precise recipe... don't understand why it's getting such great reviews. Now I'm sorry I made these for teacher appreciation day tomorrow..

I've made this recipe several times and think it is just WONDERFUL.

Like the other commenters, I also thought it is a bit sweet as written and have since cut the sugar from two cups to just one.

My family loved them. They were a little sweet, but still great.

These were very popular with my family. I'm a brand new pie baker, so I had some trouble rolling out nice rectangles. :o) I'm hoping with practice I will get better. Looking forward to making this again!

I made these tender morsels the first time you had them published. Now every fall, I bake them for Thanksgiving for the family. They are always gone!
