CRANBERRY-APPLE BUTTER BARS



Cranberry-Apple Butter Bars image

I found this recipe in the Pillsbury Fall Baking Booklet that I found in the checkout aisle of the grocery store. The pictures in this booklet are absolutely amazing! One medium orange will provide enough grated pell and the 1/4 cup of juice called for in this recipe. Homemade or purchased apple butter will work in this recipe.

This is from the "Cranberry Festival Recipes" booklet I picked up at the cranberry festival in Bordentown NJ (where one of the Ocean Spray facilities is located) many years ago. It was submitted by a woman from Vincetown NJ and is one of my favorite apple butters. I usually use the cranapple juice.
