APPLE BARS



Apple Bars image

Apple Bars are reminiscent of a blondie with their chewy texture, an apple cake with bites of fresh apple throughout, and a snickerdoodle with a topping of sugar and apple pie spice! These bars are a delicious dessert or afternoon snack, but you'll probably want to sneak some for breakfast, too.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/2 cup Challenge Unsalted Butter, melted
1 2/3 cups lightly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 ½ heaping cups peeled and chopped apples (I used Honey Crisp)
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
Whipped cream
Homemade salted caramel sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment and spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together melted butter and brown sugar until thoroughly incorporated. Add in the eggs and vanilla and stir to combine. Gradually add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined, then fold in the apples.
  • Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • In a cup or small bowl, stir together the 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of apple pie spice; evenly sprinkle over the top of the bars.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes in preheated oven; finished bars should spring back when lightly touched. Cool in the pan, and cut into squares.
  • Just before serving, top with whipped cream and salted caramel sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use frozen apples that have been thawed and drained.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before you chop them. This will help to remove the tough skin and seeds.
  • Chop the apples into small pieces. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the apple filling. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Don't overcook the apple filling. It should be cooked until the apples are soft, but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds in the granola topping. This will add flavor and texture to the bars.
  • Press the granola topping firmly into the apple filling. This will help to keep the bars together.
  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These no-bake apple breakfast bars are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're made with fresh apples, oats, nuts, and seeds, and they're packed with flavor and nutrients. Plus, they're easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for busy mornings.
