Apple Pie Bars Recipe
Apple Pie Bars are a variation of the classic apple pie, with a twist. The pie is baked in a rectangular pan and cut into bars, making it an easier and more portable option for gatherings, picnics, or potlucks. The crust is made with a blend of flour, sugar, and butter, giving it a flaky texture, while the filling is made with apples, sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of lemon juice, providing the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The bars are then topped with a layer of crumbly streusel, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
