Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of fresh nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 T vanilla extract
1/2-3/4 cup raisins (you can leave these out or try dried cranberries)
2 apples, cored and diced
Cinnamon Sugar mixture to sprinkle on top

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter with the sugars on medium until creamy. This will take a minute or two. Scrape down the sides if necessary. On low, add the eggs, one at a time. Beat until combined. Add in the vanilla. Beat on medium until everything is smooth and mixed together. Turn mixer on low. Add a little flour. Slowly mix and add until all of the flour is combined. Don't over mix. Stir in the raisins and apples. Spread the dough evenly into prepared pan. Use a spatula to make sure the dough is nice and even. Sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake for about about 30 minutes. You want the bars to be golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a rack. Cut the bars once they are cool.

The bars were a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg to the batter next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The bars were still delicious.

I made these bars with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They're a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
