Cake Batter Cookie Bars

These Cake Batter Cookie Bars take no time at all, are made with pantry staples and are always met with applause from my children and my husband and they say that it's one of those easy desserts. Of course, by applause I mean thumbs up and "this is so good" coming from mouths full of cake cookie deliciousness just like in any best recipes for desserts. Also, I can barely call this baking because this recipe is so easy. Honestly, these are even easier than making Rice Krispies treats or any other easy dessert recipes and are perfect for lunch box treats and school party potlucks.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tsp. cinnamon

1 package refrigerated or frozen pie crust (the kind with 2 crusts in box), brought to room temperature

3 Tbsp. melted butter, divided

2 apples peeled (if desired) and cut into eight slices each

Glaze (Optional):

1/2 cup icing sugar

2 Tbsp. lemon juice or water

Preparation:

In small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar together reserving 1 Tbsp. for the topping.

On lightly floured surface roll out each pie crust until flat and even.

Brush each crust with melted butter and top with cinnamon sugar.

Cut each pie crust into eight strips, top each one with an apple slice and roll (sugar side in).

Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet, brush with remaining melted butter and top with remaining cinnamon sugar.

Bake in pre-heated 425F oven for 13 to 15 minutes.

Let cool on baking rack.

If using glaze, put sheet of wax paper or paper towel under the baking rack (for easy clean-up), mix glaze and using fork drizzle glaze on top while apple pie bites are cooling.
