How to Make Apple Cinnamon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup apple butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples and ½ cup cinnamon chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before glazing.
- While the bars cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons milk or apple juice until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
- Once the glaze has set, cut the bars into 32 (8x4) pieces.
