Are you a fan of snickerdoodles? How about apple pie? If you said yes to both, then you’re in for a delightful treat with this recipe that combines the best of both worlds into one irresistible dessert: Snickerdoodle Apple Pie Squares. These squares are easy to make, utterly delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive into how you can create this scrumptious dessert at home.
Ingredients
- 17.5 oz Krusteaz Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix (reserve cinnamon mixture for topping)
- 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 (adjust to achieve desired consistency)
Directions
- Prep and Preheat: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Krusteaz Snickerdoodle cookie mix (remember to set aside the cinnamon mixture), a beaten egg, and room temperature butter. Stir until a consistent dough forms.
- Assemble the Base: Take about two-thirds of your dough and press it evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This will form the delicious crust for your pie squares.
- Add the Filling: Evenly spread the canned apple pie filling over the pressed dough base, ensuring a generous layer of apple in every bite.
- Top it Off: Crumble the remaining one-third of your dough over the apple pie filling. This doesn’t have to be perfect—rustic is part of the charm!
- Sprinkle and Bake: Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon and sugar mixture from the cookie mix over the top for that classic snickerdoodle flavor. Bake in your preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
- Cool and Glaze: Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan. While waiting, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk, adding a little milk at a time until you get a smooth, drizzly consistency. Once cooled, drizzle this sweet glaze over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve. These treats are perfect as a warm dessert, a treat for a potluck, or as a comforting snack on a chilly day.
