Pie Bars Might Change the Way You Eat Pie

Everybody’s going wild for pie bars, and for good reason. They follow the traditional pie construct of bottom crust + filling + top crust, but they’re baked as flattened rectangles so you can cut them up into finger foods. So basically, they’re everything you love about pie, but easier to prep, serve, and eat. You don’t even need to use a fork! They’re real game-changers for parties, snacks, and bake sales.
