Apple Pie Squares

There’s nothing quite like apple pie in July! Yellow transparents are an early apple and ready for the picking, and they make a wonderful, old-fashioned apple pie. I like to make 'apple-pie-by-the-pan' to feed a crowd...or simply to freeze and take out a few pieces at a time.



Apple Pie Squares
  • 1 ½ cup margarine
  • 3 ¾ cup flour
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 egg yolk and milk to make 1 cup
  • 6 cups peeled, sliced apples
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  1. Cut margarine into flour and salt.
  2. Add egg yolk and milk.
  3. Roll out half the dough and place on large bar pan...about 12 x 16 inches.
  4. Spread apple slices evenly over bottom pastry.
  5. Sprinkle with sugar, flour, and cinnamon mixture.
  6. Roll out other half of dough and place on top…pinch edges.
  7. Beat egg white until foamy and spread over crust.
  8. Bake at 400 for fifteen minutes…reduce heat to 325 and bake an additional 30 minutes.

  6. Judy, great minds think alike. My recipe is nearly identical but the finish is a wee bit different. I do this with rhubarb too and posted it in my other blog.
    I can attest to these being delicious.

  8. Yummy. You know what I'll be making this weekend. I need to get those fresh transparent apples.
    Wonder why my legs are stiff.

  9. This is how my family likes their apple pie. We love the thin layer of apples with lots of flakey crust. I add a little powder sugar glaze to mine.

  10. Oh my....I realize now what comment I wrote...earlier that is. So Judy....I will be making that yummy apple pie square tomorrow...this IS when I returned...sigh. And you know...the day you posted this was the day someone from the church brought this very apple square to the place where I was staying...as church people so kindly do when a family is in need.

    Yum...I look forward to making this.

  11. So I realize that this recipe was posted two years ago, but it's taken me that long to drum up the courage to try it. While I love pie, pastry is not yet in my skill set. This weekend, I finally tried it, and we are enjoying the results to much!!
    I follow your blog very regularly and thank you for your work here! :)

  15. My Ukrainian mother used to make apple slices for our family many years ago. My cousin and I were just talking about how we wished we had her recipe. Your recipe looks just like the one she used to make. So happy I found this on your site.

    Thank you.
