Grab your box of puff pastry for these easy and delicious apple pie bars. You can use any kind of nut you want, like almonds or pecans. These bars are a great choice for a fall dessert and would be ideal for a Thanksgiving meal.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 medium apples, peeled if desired and sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour plus ¼ cup, divided
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup nuts, such as sliced almonds or chopped pecans
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Unfold 1 sheet puff pastry and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. With a sharp knife, gently score the pastry about ¼ inch from the edge to create a border.
- Combine apples, 1 tablespoon flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl; stir well to coat the apples. Spread the apples evenly over the pastry inside the border.
- Combine ½ cup each oats and brown sugar, ¼ cup nuts and the remaining ¼ cup flour and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in the medium bowl. Cut in ¼ cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake until the pastry is browned and the apples are soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
