• 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Unroll 1 pastry crust onto a work surface; lightly roll with a rolling pin until crust is a 9x13-inch rectangle, trimming crust if needed. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, placing leftover crust pieces in the corners.

Step 3

Whisk white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until combined. Add Granny Smith apples and gala apples to sugar mixture; toss until evenly coated. Spread apple mixture evenly over crust; pour remaining juices over apples.

Step 4

Roll remaining pie pastry on a work surface to a 9x13-inch rectangle and place over apple layer, folding the edges over apples to completely cover.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly, about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Make topping: Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth, adding more milk as needed to reach the desired consistency. Drizzle over bars.
