- Let the applesauce cool slightly before adding it to the other ingredients for the bars.
- Use a combination of rolled oats and all-purpose flour for the crust. This will give the bars a chewy texture.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from falling apart.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown and the crust is set.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
