Spiced Apple Bars





Homemade spiced apple bars go wonderfully with any drink anytime. On a cold night, they are great with a cup of hot tea. Having them with a cold glass of apple juice will refresh and relieve you from the Summer heat.

The recipe calls for raisins which should be plumbed up before used for better taste. Soak them in either hot or boiling water for 10 - 15 minutes with cover. Then drain and dry them thoroughly using paper towels.

To keep raisins from sinking to the bottom during baking, coat them with a little flour that is to be used in the recipe.

Preparing pan to bake spiced apple bars
If you line the baking pan with parchment paper, you also need to grease the sides of the pan. It may be easier to use aluminum foil. Just make sure to adequately extend the foil above the top of the pan for easy removing of the whole apple bar after baking.

"Oh my gosh, I just spent HOURS on your website! This is the epitome of a cookie website - I LOVE IT! I feel like I could keep reading on forever and still find new things. I am a die-hard cookie fan and passionate baker (even thought I'm only 23!), and this website has been the most informative I've come across so far - everything you need to know in one place. Thank you so much for all of the info! I would one day LOVE to sell my baked goods, and this website is definitely educating me on things I wanted to know. Thanks again, Holly."

"I'm the baker in my office and I love to bring treats on Monday morning. December was no-holds-bar baking month and now everyone is joking around and blaming me for their extra tummy pudge last year. The first Monday this month, I made your gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They were a huge hit and everyone was surprised to find out that they were gluten-free and low fat. At about 4g of fat and 65 calories per cookie, everyone ate them up and are demanding more. I love your website and I look forward to trying all of your cookie recipes, Thanks."

"Love your site! I tried the cheese and walnut biscotti this afternoon, it is really tasty. I was out of cheddar, so used monterey jack. I know the cheddar will have more bite, but this combo was nice too! Have you used any other herb/cheese combinations that you liked? I have some herbs de provence with lavender - I think it would be great in a savory biscotti! Thanks for your great passion for all things baking!"
