I ran across this recipe a few weeks ago in one of my cooking magazines and wanted to post them. You can either use the chunky applesauce or the regular applesauce in this recipe. It tastes great with both. PS. I made these this weekend for my son who just loves these, I made these with Splenda.

Tips:
- Use fresh apples. Fresh apples will give your applesauce bars the best flavor. If you can, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core your apples. This will help to ensure that your applesauce bars are smooth and free of lumps.
- Cook your apples until they are soft. This will help to create a smooth and creamy applesauce.
- Add spices to taste. Common spices used in applesauce bars include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
