Preparation
Step 1
“Preheat oven to 350”
FIRST STEP: Cream butter with powdered sugar and add flour. Mix well.
(You can also do this in a food processor using cold butter cut into chunks and the steel blade.)
Spread HALF of this mixture (approx. 3 ½ cups) into a greased 9-inch by 13-inch pan. (That’s a standard size rectangular cake pan.)
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. DON’T TURN OFF THE OVEN!
Let the crust cool for 5 minutes.
SECOND STEP: Spread the pie filling over the top of the crust you just baked. Sprinkle it with the other half of the crust mixture you reserved and gently press it down with a metal spatula.
Bake the cookie bars for another 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden. Remove the pan to a wire rack.
Cool thoroughly and then cut into brownie-sized bars. If you like, sprinkle the bars with a little extra powdered sugar.
