Caramel Apple Pie Bars
Caramel Apple Pie Bars

Easy as pie.  Goes together in minutes.

Again was looking through my mother’s old cookbooks.

This was a Pillsbury Grand National winner back maybe 50 years ago and was called “Apple Pie ’63.”  The original of course, started with a made-from-scratch pie crust, filling and caramel sauce.

I wanted to see if I could make this and update it to something so easy it could be literally tossed together in a couple of minutes.  So, I took a chance because I have a few rolls of refrigerated large crescent rolls, I always have a couple of cans of assorted pie filling and caramel sauce.  Of course cream cheese or neufchatel is always on hand.

The result was a success.  This tastes great and it’s such little work, you will make this often.

Caramel Apple Pie Bars

Prep Time20 mins

Author: Judith Hannemann

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg 10.1 oz large-size refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 can 20-21 oz apple pie filling
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 4 oz cream cheese or neufchatel softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tbs sugar

Instructions

  • Line a small (inside approx 13 x 9) baking sheet (jelly roll pan) with parchment.
  • Open crescent rolls and unroll both rectangles, placing side by side on parchment so they form a large rectangle that will almost cover the bottom of the baking sheet. Seal the perforations well and press to fit the bottom of the pan as best you can.
  • Spoon apple pie filling on top of crescent roll crust, spreading it well to cover.
  • Spoon caramel sauce in diagonal lines across the top of the apple, spacing each strip of caramel about 2-3 inches apart.
  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg yolk and sugar until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture in diagonal lines in between the caramel lines.
  • Sprinkle the caramel lines with chopped walnuts.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden and cream cheese stripes are beginning to brown and are slightly puffy.
  • Remove from oven and cool. May be served warm or chilled. Store any leftover covered in refrigerator.
  • Makes 12 servings.

    I updated and lazy-fied this Lillian!!! Remember I was telling you about those old Bake-Off books of my Mom's I was looking though this past summer? This is an adaptation of the 1963 Grand National winner–called "Apple Pie '63" Of course that used real pie crust and apple apples not canned. If you have time make that one…It's like apple pie in a bar cookie.
