Glazed Apple Streusel Bars
These Glazed Apple Streusel Bars feature a delicious shortbread crust, spiced apple filling, streusel topping, and a sweet glaze. They taste like a piece of dutch apple pie, but only require half the work!
Ingredients
Bars
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened, 2 sticks
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
Filling
- 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced, about 4½ medium apples
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1½ Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut butter into the dry ingredients until you have pea-sized crumbs. Then, stir in egg to create a dough.
- Combine apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl and stir gently making sure all of the apples are coated.
- Press 2/3 of the dough into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Spread cinnamon apples over the bottom crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the apples.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, until the streusel topping is golden brown. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a small bowl. Carefully drizzle over cooled bars before serving.
