  4. Add eggs and almond extract and mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of bowl as needed.

  6. Set aside about 1 1/2 cups of dough for topping. Evenly spread remaining dough in the bottom of the cookie sheet.
  7. Bake for about 12 minutes.
  8. Remove cookie sheet from oven and top with apple pie filling then dot filling with remaining dough. I did one inch balls in a checkered pattern.
  9. Bake for about 30 minutes or until top is a light golden brown.
  10. While apple pie bars are cooling, prepare powdered sugar icing.
  11. After ten minutes of cooling, drizzle powdered sugar icing over the apple pie bars.
