APPLE PIE STREUSEL BARS



Apple Pie Streusel Bars image

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!

Tips:

  • For a crispy streusel topping, use cold butter and flour. You can also freeze the streusel topping before baking for an even crispier result.
  • To prevent the bars from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the bars are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bars are done baking.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Apple streusel bars are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying treat that the whole family will love.
