    Old-Fashioned Apple Pie Bars

    4
    By Alisa Fleming on October 13, 2013 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Far from your ordinary crumble bars, these apple pie bars are literally like an old-fashioned apple pie. They include a double crust and all, but are cut into tasty glazed squares.

    Special Diet Notes and Options: Apple Pie Bars

    These apple pie bars are dairy-free / non-dairy, peanut-free, soy-free, and tree nut-free when made as is.

    For vegan apple pie bars, I would use aquafaba in place of the egg. 1 tablespoon for the yolk, 2 tablespoons for the white.

    For gluten-free apple pie bars, you can use gluten-free, dairy-free pastry-dough. But take note that it can break and crumble more easily. If using gluten-free pastry, roll it out right on the parchment on the baking sheet, and use extreme care when placing the top layer. My husband really likes the Gluten-Free Pantry Perfect Pie Crust Mix.

    This is a special treat that's cozier, yet just a little fancier, than traditional apple pie. You can serve the bars topped with dairy-free whipped cream or dairy-free ice cream, but they don't need it.

    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 16 servings
    Ingredients
    • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup non-hydrogenated shortening
    • 1 egg, separated
    • Non-dairy milk alternative (see instructions for amount)
    • ⅔ cup crushed organic (or non-GMO) corn flakes
    • ½ cup applesauce (such as TreeTop Organic
    • 5 cups sliced, peeled apples
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Instructions

    2. Sift together the flour, sugar and salt.
    3. Cut in the shortening in with pastry blender or fork until crumbs form.
    4. Put the egg yolk into a measuring cup and add milk alternative to make ⅔ cup.
    5. Pour the milk alternative mixture into the shortening mixture, and mix just until the dough begins to form a ball.

      Is this intended to be made with tart apples (such as granny smith) or sweet apples?

        You are adding some sugar to the apples, so you can use tart apples if you like the sweet-tart flavor. Sweet will work, too. In recipes like this, I usually take the middle ground and use Golden Delicious.

      Yum! Those look great!

      I have an Apple Crumble Bar in my book but I love that this is sandwiched between pie crusts and spread with the glaze. My mouth is watering! Going apple picking this weekend and will definitely be doling out some apple desserts.

      Thanks, Alisa!
