EASY Apple Pie Bars
I have to be honest, I wasn’t really excited about this month’s Crazy Cooking Challenge. No offense to the pie lovers out there – I’m just not a pie person usually. My brother on the other hand, would rather have pie than cake for his birthday! Weird, right?!

Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent dough, 8 oz.
- 1 can apple pie filling, 21 oz.
- ½ cup Bisquick
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 – 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Unroll crescent rolls and press into an ungreased 9×13-inch baking pan, sealing seams and covering the bottom as necessary. Bake for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the apple pie filling in a medium bowl and chop up the apple pieces with a butter knife. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the Bisquick and brown sugar. Cut in butter using a fork or pastry blender, until mixture is crumbly. Top crescent dough with the chopped apple pie filling. Crumble the Bisquick, brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Mix powdered sugar, cinnamon and 1 tbsp. of milk (add more milk if needed to thin out). Drizzle over the top of the bars. To serve, cut into squares.
Notes
- Look for the tube of a crescent sheet so there aren’t any seams to pinch shut!

I love the idea of turning pie into bars. So much easier. And they look really tasty too. Great choice! #1
Hi Jamie, I love your recipe. It's the perfect recipe for all the busy moms out there and it definitely is gooooood!. I definitely will give this recipe a try when we are having extra guests.

I love how easy this is. I practically refuse to make crust for anything!
Hmmm. I'll have to try that some time. I'd always rather have pie than cake, and I probably shouldn't have either one. 🙂 But these look yummy!
