How to Make Coffeecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread ¾ of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Spread your choice of pie filling (about 1 ½ cups) in strips over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter, spreading it gently over the filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon softened butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable.
- Let the coffeecake bars cool completely in the pan before drizzling with the glaze and cutting into bars.
