Flaky Apple Pie Bars ( 12 Bars)
Ingredients
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
3 medium apples, peeled if desired and sliced (about 3 cups)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour plus ¼ cup, divided
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup nuts, such as sliced almonds or chopped pecans
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C
Unfold puff pastry and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. With a sharp knife, gently score
the pastry about ¼ inch from the edge to create a border.
Combine apples, granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon flour in a medium
bowl; stir well to coat the apples. Spread the apples evenly over the pastry inside the border.
Combine oats, nuts, brown sugar and the remaining ¼ cup flour and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in
the medium bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping
evenly over the apples. Bake until the pastry is browned and the apples are soft, 25 to 30
minutes.
