Ina garten apple pie bars

This recipe is easier than pie, too! Ina Garten apple pie bars have all the apple pie flavor you love in a tender, no-roll crust.

After buying her specialty food store, cookbook author Ina Garten says her husband, Jeffrey, took her on a grand tour of food stores in California looking for inspiration. When she visited Oakville Grocery in Napa Valley and they were making apple pie bars, she thought it was a great idea. “I worked on my version of the bars with two kinds of apples, tart Granny Smiths and sweet Golden Delicious,” Ina says. “One large batch of buttery shortbread makes both the crust and the crumble topping.”

They're so much easier to make than actual apple pie.
