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.
