Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Mix together all dough ingredients until a dough forms. Roll out half of the dough to fit into a cookie sheet going up the sides. Save the other half for the top.

Step 3

Cut up the apples into 1” pieces and spread in a single layer in the pan. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Dot with butter.

Step 4

Roll out the other half of the dough and lay over the apples, sealing the edges. Cut air holes.

Step 5

Bake for 15-20 mins or until golden brown on top.

Step 6

While that is cooling, mix together the frosting, then ice the apple bars while still warm. Cut into squares.
