Apple Pie Bars

Cooking spray

c. (2 sticks) butter, softened

c. sugar

brown sugar

c. all-purpose flour

kosher salt

apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

lemon

cinnamon

pure vanilla extract

c. chopped pecans

c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted

Caramel,

These are fantastic!  It is a lot of work but definitely worth it.  They will be perfect for next Thanksgiving.  The sweetness level is spot on (not too sweet), yet can be made more decadent with caramel sauce drizzle.  The crumb topping is crispy crunchy, and delicious with the toasty pecans.  The apples were perfectly cooled (not too soft, not too crunchy). 
And if you cut them into small squares and place them in foil cupcake liners, they are festive and will feed a large crowd.  Or if you want them all for yourself, you can cut larger squares for dessert for a few days!

Sooo good! I sprinkled toffee chips the last 10 minutes of baking instead of using caramel, yummy! It did take longer to prep but well worth the effort. I will be making this again.

these have become my go to Thanksgiving dessert. Super easy once the apples are peeled and cored and so delicious!

These were so good and received rave reviews at our work Fall party. I do suggest only starting out with 15 minutes on the crust. I found it was perfect after 15 mins as someone else suggested. I did sub oats for the pecans as well.

These were so good! Made them for Thanksgiving desert and the whole family loved them and asked for me to make them for Christmas desert! A bit of work but so worth it :)

Loved these! Might be my new go to dessert for company! Crust a little hard but it softens up with the apple’s juice. Also, the first time I made them I followed the recipe to a T, and the crust was a bit dark. Just fyi to others to check after 15 mins. Super good!

this is hands down one of the best apple pie (bars) I've ever had the pleasure to eat... if I could give it 10 stars I would

These are incredible. We had an over abundance of apples this year so I made them and took them to work. Everyone absolutely loved them!! Has anyone tried freezing them?

Pretty labor intensive but worth it!  It was delicious!  I made the crust layer the day before and it worked out great!

My boyfriend and I made these and they turned out fantastic! Took half the time of an apple pie and we think it may be even better than traditional apple pie (yeah, we went there). Whole pan = gone in like two days. And if you run of our butter, no problem! Sub for vegetable oil and you'll still be chillin'

They are in my oven. They smell delicious

Guess it depends on whether or not you actually enjoy baking or not. Despite spasming back, painful neuropathy in legs and feet, and seizures putting me on the floor...still felt recipe was pretty clear-cut and simple, easy to make. Appreciate the concisely written instructions. Made it for potluck...got rave reviews all around. Not a crumb left, several requests for the recipe. Threw in some chopped cranberries and extra cinnamon just for kicks. Will be making this again, lots!
Thank you for a fantastic recipe!

Prep time - 25 minutes? Not even close. It takes that long to peel and core 6 apples. These bars <em>looked</em> so good. Each element was a winner looking at the recipe, so I committed to trying them. Labor intensive is understatement. And totally disappointing. No one liked them - not my family or my neighbors or my co-workers. I could make an apple pie with a crumb topping and have it baked and cooling in the time it took me to construct these bars. (But I bottle my own apple pie filling so getting it from the basement and opening it took 20 minutes off right away. My pie crust is even easier than this 'crust.') The crust is good on its own, the apples were yummy, and the topping was tasty, but put together it was just meh. I waited a day hoping the flavors needed time to mesh, but we still kept pulling them apart, hoping to find something we loved. It just didn't happen. Will never make them again.

OMG SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! however if you don’t like sweet thing then you won’t like this. Labor intensive but wow does it pay off. Make sure you read steps CAREFULLY!! I forgot to put the butter in the crumble but I caught it in time and it turned out great. 

P.s if you don’t be have parchment paper then use foil and it work just the same. Also if you don’t have Carmel I used a quick recipe and it turned out great. 
Lastly, suggest Granny Smith apples there tartness balances out the sweetness of the rest of the desert.

These apple pie bars are all you'd want from a streusel topped apple pie, baked into little hand held squares. We love how simple these are to make and the final drizzle of caramel sauce really takes them over the edge.
