Apple Pie Bars | Instead of making an entire pie with crust, make these instead!

These bars embody the great taste of apple pie but without all of the work! The crust and streusel mixture are made as one, complimenting the apples between them. Versatile as a snack or dessert, these bars are a perfect way to showcase the fruit of the fall, all without the pie!

INGREDIENTS
For the granola crust:
- 2 3/4 cups rolled oats
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 16 tbsp unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
For the apple pie filling:
- 4 apples (such as Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10x14 baking pan and set it aside.
For the crust:
- In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
- Add the cubes of cold butter and toss with the dry ingredients. Work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles wet sand with some pea-sized pieces of butter. Reserve 2 cups of the prepared crust and set it aside.
- Press the remaining crust into a 10x14 pan (also called a jelly roll-size pan). Firmly and evenly press the crust, making sure to press the crust mixture up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Once baked, remove it from the oven and set aside to cool.
For the filling
- Prepare the filling by coring and thinly slicing the apples. In a large bowl, combine the prepared apples, flour, white granulated sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir until well combined, then pour the mixture onto the baked crust.
- Spread the apples out into an even layer, overlapping as needed to fit all the apples. Sprinkle on the reserved 2 cups of prepared crust topping. Bake in the 350°F preheated oven until the apples are tender, 35-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool one hour before enjoying them!

From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

Can you freeze them well?

[@suzannevega2289]

@WyseGuide Hello, I planted some acorn squash seeds but a couple of plants grew something that looks like the pumpkin shape behind you, but mine are shaped more like a tear drop, same color and has those warts/ bumps, sure was surprising finding them🥴. I tried a bit to look it up & I've seen pictures but couldn't find specific info on it, I've assumed it's a gourd. Would you please tell me the name of it and is it edible? Looking forward to trying these bars😋

[@karenhasel9908]

@@suzannevega2289It looks like a buttercup squash. They are delicious!

[@karenhasel9908]

@@suzannevega2289. If yours look like a big orange teardrop, might be a red Kuri squash. I think the buttercup is best!

[@suzannevega2289]

@@karenhasel9908 Definitely not Kuri or buttercup, I do love them both though😉Theres still a couple I left outside on a plant, they grew bigger and more round, they look just like the one on his counter, I think it's a gourd but I haven't found the name and I didn't cook any of them. Thanks for the response.

[@elonanamor6420]

Love a cook who scrapes the bowl and uses his fingers!!! I so enjoy your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing another great recipe.

[@gwanma]

I love how you don’t waste anything. Drives me crazy when I see cooks leave so much batter, etc in the bowl. Thank you for an easy alternative

[@historyunderfootnyc]

You have the BEST recipes.

[@suelizzi1764]

doesn't he?! I know right where to look on youtube when I want recipes I can trust. This guy!

[@marymorford7369]

I love youmentioned the scraping of the bowl! It drives me nuts that ppl making their videos don't do this! Thank you!

[@tthom2459]

I learned a trick for combining butter with dry flour mix. Freeze the butter for 1-2 hrs . . then use the large hole grater . . and it's easier to mix into the dry mix. I am a bit leery of using whole slices and might try coarse chopping my apples for this recipe. Can't wait to try it.

[@whoyawith9494]

I tried it and would second your idea on chopping the apples. Also I think the bottom crust got a little too done and it was kind of hard at first but the next day(s) it got softer. Enjoy! Fun recipe, I will definitely be making it again. 😋

[@AlishaM13]

I just use a food processor for cold butter + flour, then stir in the rest. Has never failed me, yet.

[@sallydunbar1683]

You are my people with scraping the bowl!!! Your recipes are fantastic! Thank you ❤

[@YellowBug15]

That looks amazing! I literally just closed on my 2 berm/2bath down sized retirement house and found out from the previous owners that one of the trees in the yard is a golden delicious and it’s just got fruit ready! Picking apples tomorrow morning so excited!

[@susieramick7202]

Your apples are beautiful! I'm sure your apple bars will become a family tradition. Your presentations are precise and fun. Thank you.

[@lornapenn-chester6867]

I don’t comment much but want to say that you’re a fabulous presenter 👏👏👏

[@gigishepherd.lgmshepherd1977]

I'm almost speechless 😮 It really is easier than going all out with a full blown pie. Honestly i wasn't so sure it would turn out this good It's absolutely beautiful. Plus its not as thick a deep dish. To me it's more like of a rectangle tart & prefect.. I'll definitely be making more of these during this holiday season. So Thank you darlin' for sharing this with all of us you're fans...❤

[@maryferguson6586]

Second comment from me. I already said how yummy this looks and the thought of not having to peel the apples really hit home! I’d like to give a shot out to whoever is behind the camera. Whoever it is does a fantasy job!! Maybe sometime you could highlight that person so others could give him/her a thumbs up.

[@laurachacon8700]

Love, love, watching your videos. Easy, simple and so delicious.

[@arlenewallace1306]

I can’t wait to try this. I love anything apples. This is a good one for the kiddos to get involved with. Another great one for my recipe book. I can’t wait til you do a recipe book. Have a fantastic day.

[@janetsanders9253]

Yes Kaleb we want a cook book, love all your recipes ❤

[@milliehouston1089]

Yum! I’m ready for fall flavors

[@queeniesmith1249]

Your personality is so welcoming, I get soo ecxited when I see your notifications. Apple crisp is on the menu for Friday 😊❤

[@jaycarver4886]

I would grate some ginger root into the apples and also maybe try switching apple for pear sometime. I used to make a pear ginger pie that was killer. Wonderful combination of flavors.

[@maryannferencak3799]

Ginger and apple is not an appealing flavor profile. Ginger and pear is o.k., though

[@musicful7036]

@@maryannferencak3799 Ginger would go with almost everything. Ginger is King

[@jayneward6649]

Wow, that looks amazingly delicious ❤

[@kimcoffee-isaak2921]

You are using the best potholder. Those handmade, often by children, work so good. Plus you can often feel the love and care each one was made with each time you touch it. Right?

[@susandinger1743]

This is one of the best recipes. Seems easy and I can’t wait to make and try it! Looks so good

[@clymelabox3356]

Oh boy!! Found you by accident and this treatment of apples and “crust0 is perfect. Signed up to know when you are up again. Thank you so much!

[@deborahmower8539]

That crust/streusel goes with so many things. It's what use when I make bars with raspberry or blueberry filling.

[@maryferguson6586]

Yum! I have always peeled apples when making baked apple dishes. I’m going to try this without peeling. I dislike peeling!

[@janiceleckie2060]

Can’t wait to try this!!! Looks delish!!!

[@Simplycomfortfood]

I was introduced to a lovely spice mix while doing some bread making and also making mincemeat for the holidays. Folks in the UK call it British Mixed Spice Blend. It has the following ground spices. Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, mace, ginger, cloves, and coriander. When a recipe calls for cinnamon, I will also add a couple of teaspoons of the British Mixed Spice Blend. It just warms up the flavors and baths you in Fall. Great recipe. We are big apple crisp fans. I am sure our family will love this. Thanks for sharing.

[@angelwolfe6728]

Made this recipe substituted flour with oat flour and corn starch to be gluten free and it was delicious!!!! ❤ Everyone I shared this with loved it as well!

@@mizotter you’re welcome,happy it was helpful!!

[@kirstenveneziano1205]

I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this gluten-free. What are the amounts you used? Did you put the cornstarch in the crust and the streusel topping?

[@amberluttrelll8359]

Yum. Looks like another one of your amazing recipes for us to make
