Glazed Apple Bars

I was in the baking mood last night and decided to make these apple bars by Meg Duerksen from Whatever. Well, I was in a hurry trying to get them done before So You Think You Can Dance and GLEE came on and I screwed up a bit. So I decided to steal photos from Meg's blog because hers are much prettier than mine. But I will not fail at this. I'll make them again and I will succeed. And just my luck...my shows weren't even on.

combine

4 C. flour
1/2 t. salt
2 C. sugar

cut in

3 sticks of butter

Make sure it's well combined and crumbly. Then press half the mixture into a jelly roll pan. Peel and slice 5 granny smith apples and cover the mixture.

combine

1/3 C. sugar
1 t. cinnamon

Sprinkle it over the apples, then sprinkle the other half of the flour, butter, sugar mixture over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. When cool, make a glaze with 1 C. powdered sugar, 1 t. vanilla, 1 T. water. Drizzle over top. Cut into bars and enjoy!

Update: I just had one and they are AMAZING. No joke, you need to make these...forget apple pie. There I said it.
