These bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

I love that these bars are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a little healthier than traditional apple bars.

These apple bars are a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that need to be used up, and these bars are a delicious way to do it.
