Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple butter harvest bars a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
- Peel and core your apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness from the bars.
- Cook the apples until they are very soft. This will make them easier to blend and will help to create a smooth and creamy texture in the bars.
- Add your favorite spices to the apple butter. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Let the apple butter cool completely before using it in the bars. This will help to prevent the bars from becoming too runny.
- Press the bars firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent them from crumbling when you cut them.
- Chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to cut.
