Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder

  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 stick margarine, softened (use soy-free, if needed)

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Vanilla Extract

  • 2 large apples, diced

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2-3 tablespoons hot water

Directions

Prepare the Bars

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour 9 x 13-inch pan.

2.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3.

Combine margarine and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, one at a time. Mix until smooth.

4.

Add the flour mixture slowly, until flour is just incorporated. Stir in diced apples. The dough will be thick, similar to cookie dough. Don’t worry if it is hard to mix.

5.

Spread dough evenly in prepared pan. (You can flatten the dough with damp hands.) Bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze

1.

Combine powdered sugar, hot water, and vanilla extract in a Ziploc bag. Mix until smooth. It should be the consistency of glue; if it is too thick, add more water one teaspoon at a time. If it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.

2.

Snip off a corner of the bag and drizzle over cooled bars.

Tips:

Bars can be made in advance and frozen.

Being that these are bars, I worry about substituting for it due to texture. The dough might be stickier to work with. I guess try it and add some flour need be.

Absolutely delicious but very hard to mix the batter. 5 stars for taste, 4 stars for ease of recipe.

DELICIOUS!!! Wow! Amazing taste and texture. Instead of using 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine I cut back on the fat by using 1/4 cup margarine and 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce. Chose not to glaze it as it’s definitely sweet enough.

So good! Loved by all and freezes really well. Can I use oil instead of margarine?

It’s a bar. So it should be fine. Just use a drop less than half a cup.
