FRESH APPLE COOKIES/BARS
I have had this recipe in my file for a number of years, I don't know the origin. My family loves the flavor but the cookies are hard to make and handle so I turned it into bars. The bars are much easier to make and handle. We most often omit the glaze because it can be too sweet; although powdered sugar sprinkled on the cooled bars would dress them up for guests.

FRESH APPLE BARS
I came up with this recipe by changing a fresh apple cake recipe that I had into bars. Autumn is in the air and this is the perfect recipe to bring it in. The bars are so moist and the combination of Fiji and Granny Smith apples make it so delicious. This is my new favorite recipe for fall celebrations. I hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl mix the oil and sugar with an electric mixer.
- 2. Add the eggs and mix.
- 3. Sift together the dry ingredients and add to the wet ingredients. Mix together.
- 4. Gently fold on the apples, vanilla and walnuts by hand.
- 5. Bake in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with Bakers Joy or grease and flour. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes at 325. The cake is done when a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Completely cool the cake before it is covered. You can cut into bars once it is cooled.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples for baking, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and won't become too mushy when baked.
- Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help the apples to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples: This will help to create even slices that will cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the apple bars, make sure to spread them out evenly in the pan so that they have room to cook.
- Bake the apple bars until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
- Let the apple bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Fresh apple bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your apple bars turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these fresh apple bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
