These apple pie bars taste just like apple pie but in simple-to-make bar form. Made with buttery shortbread crust, layers of juicy apples, and crunchy, cinnamon streusel, these apple pie bars are the perfect fall dessert!

The fall weather has me craving all things apple! From caramel apple pie to baked apple cider donuts, fall baking wouldn’t be complete without a few more apple recipes on the blog.

I’m obsessed with this apple pie bar recipe for a two reasons: one, they taste amazing (I wouldn’t post it if I didn’t love it!). Not only do I love the cinnamon-apple flavor, but the combination of textures of crumbly shortbread crust, cooked, juicy apples and crunchy streusel is divine. And two, they’re essentially like a simplified apple pie that requires no chilling time and can be made very quickly.
