APPLE STREUSEL BARS
I made these delicious bars for a friend's birthday once and now he requests them every year! They have a tasty tartness with a cinnamony kick. Be sure to chop the apples into small cubes -if the apple pieces are too big the bars will fall apart. -Danielle Millwer, Tonawanda, New York

APPLE PIE BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- For the crust, place the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and creamy. Sift the flour and salt together and, with the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until combined. Scatter two-thirds of the dough in clumps in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and press it lightly with floured hands on the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, put the mixing bowl with the remaining dough back on the mixer, add the walnuts and cinnamon, and mix on low speed to combine. Set aside.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees.
- For the filling, combine the Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples and lemon juice in a very large bowl. Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well. Melt the butter in a large (10-inch-diameter) pot, add the apples, and simmer over medium to medium-low heat, stirring often, for 12 to 15 minutes, until the apples are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Spread the apples evenly over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Pinch medium pieces of the remaining dough with your fingers and drop them evenly on top of the apples (they will not be covered). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the topping is browned. Cool completely and cut into bars.
APPLE PIE STREUSEL BARS
Okay, this is a recipe I found on Pinterest and then tracked it down to the original. It was alright, but needed some major spice kick. So, I adapted the original with just a few additions, pan change, and switched the apple variety. I personally like skipping the glaze, serving it HOT with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 °. Crust: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Cut in butter (you can use a blender, pastry blender, forks, etc) until you have pea sized crumbles. Gently mix in beaten egg.
- 2. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray. Gently press about 2/3 of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
- 3. Filling: In a large bowl combine sliced apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Toss to combine, until apples are well coated. Spread apples onto crumb pastry crust. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture evenly over the top of the apples slices. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
- 4. If doing glaze cool cake completely. Glaze: In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, extract, and enough milk to reach desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled bars and allow to harden.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a food processor to mix the streusel topping. This will ensure that the butter is evenly distributed and the topping is light and crumbly.
- Don't overmix the streusel topping. Overmixing will make the topping tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the bars. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
- Serve the bars warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 2 days of baking.
Conclusion:
Apple pie streusel bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to picnics to holiday parties. With their sweet and tangy filling and crunchy streusel topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
