For a richer flavor, use butter-flavored shortening.
To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can blind-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the apple filling.
A sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the egg wash will add a delightful crunch.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

    These bars were a huge hit at our family gathering! The crust was perfectly flaky, and the apple filling was so flavorful.

  • Rachelle Cummerata

    I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. I sometimes add a handful of chopped walnuts to the apple mixture for extra texture.
