For best results, ensure that the cream cheese and butter are fully softened before mixing. If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the apple mixture for extra warmth. Serve the bars warm or at room temperature. They are also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 min)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. (5 min)
03 Step
Recipe View Gradually add 3 cups of the flour, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended. Be careful not to overmix. (5 min)
04 Step
Recipe View Divide the dough into two equal balls. On a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper, place one ball and flatten it slightly. Cover with another sheet of floured waxed paper. (2 min)
05 Step
Recipe View Roll out the dough to a 15.5x10.5-inch rectangle. Discard the top sheet of waxed paper. (5 min)
06 Step
Recipe View Spray a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Invert the pan over the rolled-out dough. Flip the dough and pan together so the pan is on the bottom. Remove the second sheet of waxed paper and gently press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. (5 min)
07 Step

08 Step

12 Step
Recipe View Let the dessert cool in the pan for 15 minutes. (15 min)
