  1. Great tasting all around apple bar. I love the added yogurt. I used gala apples in place of the granny smith's. I also made sure I used a heaping t. of cinnamon too. This is a great recipe for the fall time of year.:-)
     
  2. "Amazing" was my son's comment on these flavorful little bars. The flavor comes out seeming more complex than I would have imagined. I took them to a Super Bowl party and they easily kept pace with the chocolate brownies as a snack option. Thanks for sharing these!
     
  3. Oh Goodness, Lauralie!! It is a good thing these little guys are good for you, because I will be eating a lot of them!! I made as directed, but I added about 1/2 cup of craisins in with the apple mixture (just for fun : ) and they added just the touch I was looking for! Thanks so much for this great recipe! I love having a new way to use my fall apples!
     
  4. These are delicious! They're certainly not as rich and heavy as the traditional bar cookie, but that's fine with me! The crust does give them a nice crunch, while the apple topping is light and fluffy. Mine browned up in only 30 minutes. I'll definitely make these again when I'm craving a guilt-free snack.
