Equipment

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cup Flour Plus extra for rolling out the dough.
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/3 Cup Vegan Margarine
- 1/3 Cup Oil Plus 1/4 Cup oil for brushing the top of the crust before baking. Avocado or olive oil.

- 10 Cups Apples Peeled and cut up. Fresh, frozen or thawed.
- 1/2 Cup Sugar Mixed together with the cinnamon and sprinkled over the apples before adding the top dough.
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Frosting
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 4 tsp Brewed Coffee Chilled or room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and margarine.
- Continue by adding the oil and mix together well.
- Note : It will be dry.
- Next add the water, 1 Tbsp at a time, mixing after each Tbsp.
- The dough should clean the sides of the bowl.
- If the dough seems to dry, add 1 to 2 Tbsp. of oil, mixing well after each to make sure not to over moisten. Do not add more water.
- Once the dough is combined, form it into a ball.
- Then place the ball onto a floured surface.
- Continue by cutting the ball in half and place half of the ball back in the bowl.
- Roll out half the dough ball, thin enough to cover the bottom and slightly up the side of a 13x9 pan.
- Carefully place the rolled out dough into the 13x9 pan.
- Next peel and dice the fresh apples, spread the apples evenly, covering the bottom of the dough.
- Frozen apples or thawed apples will work just as well, or mix both the fresh and frozen/thawed apples.
- In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples.
- Remove the other half of the dough from the bowl and place onto the floured surface and roll it out, enough to cover the apples.
- Carefully place the dough onto the apples, seal the edges, and cut slits on the top, so that the seam escapes while baking.
- Before baking, brush a little oil on the top of the crust to prevent the crust from drying out.
- Slide the dish into the oven and bake the bars for 50 minutes.
- Notice : The apples have formed their own sauce and the crust has slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let the bars cool for a few hours.
- Once the bars are completely cool, it is time to frost them.
