Apple bars are a baked good that showcases the flavors of fresh apples in a convenient and portable form. Typically, they consist of a buttery crust that serves as the base, topped with a layer of tender apple slices that are generously coated in a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and sometimes other spices like nutmeg or cloves. The bars are then baked to perfection, resulting in a golden and fragrant dessert or snack.
