Gluten-free Apple Pie Bars
These gluten-free apple pie bars have all the great taste of apple pie in an easy bar dessert. It's made up of a delicious, buttery crust, fresh apple filling, and topped with a cinnamon crumble topping.
If you love apple pie, then you'll love these apple pie bars. These bars are made with a delicious shortbread crust that melts in your mouth. Next, the fresh apples are cooked down to be soft with classic fall flavors like butter and cinnamon. The crumb topping is the last addition to these bars, adding a sweet, buttery, delicate crunch that is just like a crumb pie topping.
These apple pie bars are great for a party or get-together because you can easily cut them into squares to serve a crowd. Besides being super easy to make, they're super delicious - whether you serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even just plain!
Let the baking begin!
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Always preheat your oven.
- All refrigerated ingredients should be room temperature unless stated otherwise.
- Use your food processor to make the crumb topping after you make the crust. This way it's ready to go when the filling is done.
- You can use whatever apples you like! I used Honeycrisp and Mcintosh.
- I shopped the apples in small, diced pieces because they're easier to cut through when the bars are finished.
- I recommend tasting your apple filling for sweetness before dumping it onto the crust. It all depends on the apples you use - you can always add a little bit of sugar if needed.
