Ingredients:
- 17.5 oz Krusteaz Snickerdoodle cookie mix (reserve cinnamon mixture)
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 21 oz Canned Apple Pie Filling
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk (mix to desired consistency)
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the Krusteaz Snickerdoodle cookie mix (remember to reserve the cinnamon mixture), beaten egg, and room-temperature butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Layer the Bars:
- Press approximately 2/3 of the dough into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Spread the canned apple pie filling evenly over the pressed dough.
- Drop the remaining 1/3 of the dough by spoonfuls over the apple pie filling. The dough will not cover the filling completely, but this will give it a rustic appearance.
- Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top of the dough.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Glaze:
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish. While cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk in a small bowl. Add the milk a little at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Finish and Serve:
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars. Once the glaze has set, cut into squares.
