1 cup raisins
2 ½ cups water
½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tart apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith apples are a good choice.
  • Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the bars from becoming too mushy.
  • Be sure to drain the applesauce well before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the bars from becoming too wet.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make the bars dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Raisin applesauce bars with caramel frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or simply enjoying at home. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
