APPLE PIE FILLING
DOUGH
  • 4.

    Next, prepare the dough. Place the flour, Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown Sweetener with a hint of Molasses, sea salt and baking powder in a large bowl, and whisk to combine.

  • 5.

    Add the cold butter to the bowl, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour, in order to break the butter down into small pieces that are coated in flour. Add in the egg, and toss around to distribute the moisture.

  • 6.

    Next, add in the heavy cream, and toss the liquid around to moisten the dough further. At this point the dough might look crumbly but if you gather a handful with your fingers and press, it should hold together.

  • 7.

    Split the dough in half, and press one half of the dough down into the bottom of an 8x8 baking pan lined with parchment paper.

  • 8.

    Add all of the apple pie filling on top, and spread it evenly with a spatula or spoon. Crumble the remaining half of the dough on top.

  • 9.

    Bake in the center of the oven for 50 minutes, until lightly golden on top.

  • 10.

    Let the bars cool completely, then remove the bars from the pan and cut into squares.

*These bars have 270 calories and 8 grams of sugar per serving compared to the brown sugar-sweetened version which have 300 calories and 23 grams of sugar.

**Please remember to wash hands, utensils, equipment, and work surfaces with hot, soapy water before and after they come in contact with raw egg

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Delicious apple bar! I have made this recipe twice for my pre-diabetic husband. I love them. The only issue is there is a lot of crust to it, I think I'll make it in a 9 x 13 pan next time and maybe even make more filling for it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good eating I am going to enjoy this recipe because we like apples, and it is easy to make. We also like brown sugar added to our food.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious! Made this today because I love apple cinnamon anything! It's super good if you let it settle for 10 minutes and then serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (:
