APPLE WALNUT BREAKFAST BARS



Apple Walnut Breakfast Bars image

Easy and delicious breakfast bar (healthy too!). They are no-bake. I usually use Raisin Bran or Bran Flakes for the cereal part, but Corn flakes, cheerios, or even rice krispies would be great. From BHG.

WALNUT, RAISIN, APPLE BARS



Walnut, Raisin, Apple Bars image

I made these yesterday and took them to a Labor Day Cookout and everyone thought they were delicious. I got the recipe from Family Circle Magazine, but I made a few changes. It called for dried apples but I used fresh ones and it didn't have walnuts in it, which I think goes so well with apples. This is going to be a keeper

APPLE-WALNUT BARS



APPLE-WALNUT BARS image

Categories     Dessert     Bake

Yield 15 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

32 graham cracker squares
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup dried apples
1/2 cup sugar
2 large egg whites
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chopped and toasted (see Tip)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Tip: To toast chopped walnuts: Place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Coat an 8-by-12-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Process graham crackers and cinnamon in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Leaving about 1/2 cup in the workbowl, transfer the crumbs to another container. Add apples to the workbowl and process until coarsely chopped. Combine sugar, egg whites, egg, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thick, about 3 minutes. Fold in the apple mixture and walnuts just until combined. Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish; smooth the top with a wet rubber spatula. Bake until the top feels dry and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and cut into 15 bars.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your apple walnut bars. Use fresh apples that are ripe and crisp, and walnuts that are fresh and not rancid.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the apple walnut bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Bars Until They Are Golden Brown: The bars are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Bars Cool Completely Before Cutting: This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Apple walnut bars are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their sweet and tart flavor, these bars are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give apple walnut bars a try!
