They were pretty good, though it didn't turn out to be apple "bars". It was more of a crisp. The only way it would stay in bar form was if it was in a really cold fridge for a couple hours.

These are super delicious, but I was under the impression that this would be easier than making an actual pie and it wasn't. I still had to make the dough and roll it out. I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to substitute a storebought pie crust, though, if one wanted something slightly simpler.

This is pretty good, but there is a similar recipe on this site called "Apple Sheet Cake" by Barbara (not sure why it is called cake, it's nothing like a cake and very much like apple pie!) that is a little bit better. The dough is simpler and the filling is thickened. Either recipe is definitely worth a try though!

These were absolutely delicious. I made only a single recipe for the crust, and had plenty. I did add the extra flour to the filling, and was glad I did. Also, we happened to use some dehydrated apple slices we had from our food storage, this was a great use for them. yumm!

My husband has taken this to work several times and it's gone before lunch. I only make half of the icing, so that it's not quite as sweet. This is a great way to have apple pie for a crowd.

It tastes great, only crumbs were left after I brought it into work. My only complaint was having a difficult time with the crust. It didn't want to roll out nice, very sticky. When I added flour then it didn't want to stick together. I also added nutmeg to apple mixture. YUMMY!

Terrific recipe! I doubled the crust, and will probably use unsalted butter instead of shortening next time.

This is great for apple pie lover's! I tossed in 1/4 cup flour with apples to thicken juices and it was perfect! IF you have any leftover you can put cut bars in the fridge and take out as needed. Add spices to your taste! Good crust, too!

The crust is wonderful, it should be doubled though, and make sure your apples are thickened, you really don't want any juices. Also a nice plain drizzled icing over top works well.

This is a really good recipe. I personally made them in a jellyroll pan using all the crust on the bottom and adding a crumb topping instead. I added 1/3c. flour so the filling wasn't too runny and used 2/3 brown sugar and 1/3 white in the filling. It received rave reviews at both my work and my husband's work. Thanx!
