Steps:
- For bars, beat butter, brown sugar, and egg. Stir in applesauce. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

For frosting, melt butter in saucepan. Mix in milk and brown sugar. Increase heat to medium. When mixture starts to boil, continue cooking for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and beat in confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Add additional milk 1/2 tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency. Spread over cooled bars, slice, and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apples. This will ensure that your applesauce is flavorful and has a good texture.
- Peel and core your apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness from the applesauce.
- Cook the apples until they are very soft. This will make them easier to mash and will help the applesauce to have a smooth texture.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on how sweet you like your applesauce.
- Add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste. This will give your applesauce a warm and flavorful taste.
- Stir in raisins and nuts, if desired. This will add texture and flavor to your applesauce.
- Let the applesauce cool completely before using it. This will help the flavors to meld together.
