Apple Pie Sugar Cookie Bars

Ingredients

- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 1 package (17.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter.

2. Prepare the Sugar Cookie Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough.

3. Press the Dough into the Pan
Reserve about 1/4 cup of the dough for topping. Press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a base layer.

4. Layer the Apple Pie Filling
Open the can of apple pie filling and spread it evenly over the cookie dough base in the pan. Use a spatula to ensure a smooth, even layer.

5. Crumble Reserved Dough
Take the reserved cookie dough and crumble it over the apple pie filling, ensuring some apple filling is still visible.

6. Bake in the Oven
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the cookie topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

7. Prepare Cinnamon Glaze
While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, whole milk, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

8. Cool and Drizzle
Once the bars are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the top of the bars.

9. Cut and Serve
Once completely cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper or a spatula. Cut them into 16 squares and serve.
