apple pie maple donut bars
what every cozy fall morning should look like.
Hi friends —
Happy Friday! I can’t think of a better way to head into the weekend. There’s something about apple and maple together that just feels like peak fall baking, and these apple pie maple donut bars are proof. Imagine pillowy soft, fluffy donut dough baked into golden bars, filled with a gooey spiced apple pie filling, and finished with a sweet maple glaze that makes every bite taste like autumn comfort.
They’ve got all the cozy, nostalgic flavors of a warm apple pie, but wrapped up in soft, donut-like layers that make them extra special. The apples bake down into a tender, spiced filling, the dough stays light and fluffy, and the maple glaze ties it all together with that rich, deep sweetness.
Best served warm — with the glaze still a little sticky and a hot cup of coffee on the side — these bars are the kind of treat that feels right at home for a weekend bake, a fall gathering, or just because you wanted a little something cozy and sweet.
🍎 The FULL recipe is up now on the blog so you can make a batch for yourself this weekend:
With love,
