Alabama NewsCenter — Recipe: Apple Pie Sugar Cookie Bars

By: Andrea Mathis

In my home, we are a dessert-lovin’ family. No matter if it’s cake, cookies or pies — we love them all. Lately, my youngest son has been on a sugar cookie kick. He loves that sweet, buttery taste of the sugar cookies when they come right out of the oven, and he’s been requesting a fresh batch every week.

My oldest son is a fan of fruit pies, but they must have the perfect fruit-to-pie-crust ratio. To satisfy both of their sweet tooths, I decided to make a batch of these Apple Pie Sugar Cookie Bars. It contains the best of both worlds — warm, chewy cookies and yummy apple pie.

This recipe may sound a little complicated, but it’s actually very easy to make. And thanks to a couple of shortcuts, this recipe calls for only a few simple ingredients that I purchased from Walmart. Instead of making my cookie dough from scratch, I decided to use a packaged sugar cookie mix, and instead of spending hours to prepare my apple pie filling, I decided to use BakeGood Sweeten-to-Taste Apple Pie Filling. That allows me to control the sugar content by sweetening the filling with my preferred sweetener. You can choose to use maple syrup, stevia, erythritol — the choice is yours.
