These Easy Apple Pie Bars are a sweet and delicious fall dessert made with apple pie filling layer and cinnamon streusel topping.

Apple desserts are my favorite to make during fall. We love the Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp and my Best Apple Crumb Cake.

Pumpkin Pie Bars are easy dessert bars made with canned pumpkin pie filling and from-scratch crust and topping, that’s made in one bowl. The cinnamon crumb topping is irresistible!

Crumb bars are my favorite dessert bars to make ( right next to cheesecake! ), starting with the sour cream bars, their lemon version and of course, the caramel apple bars that are pure indulgence!

These Pumpkin Pie Crumb Bars are a cross between pumpkin pie and my coffee cake with crumb topping. The creamy pumpkin filling pairs perfectly with buttery crust and topping. They make for a perfect no-fuss and low-key Thanksgiving dessert or just as a treat with a cup of coffee. I make them for almost all of our fall gatherings and holiday parties. Everyone loves them!

Recently, I received a message from one of my readers asking for an apple pie dessert that would not require making the traditional crust. She asked for a delicious apple pie like dessert yet easy. Apparently, the pie crust is scary not only for me but also for some of you. This simple dessert is my answer. The crust and topping are made from the same dough. It’s super easy, mixed in a bowl and absolutely fool-proof. It’s buttery and sweet. The filling is made of sweet cinnamon apple slices. When you toss the slices with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice, the apples will release some juice. You need to add it all with the apple slices over the crust. It will create a caramel sauce that will bind the fruit.
