I love the flavor of these bars, but I found the crust to be a little dry. Next time, I'll try adding a little more butter.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and they were the perfect combination of tart and sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of apple desserts, but these bars were surprisingly good. The crust was flaky and the filling was gooey and sweet.
