These are some kind of sweet! I would take care to use a tart apple like a granny smith to give a little contrast to all that sweet. They are also very rich, it is definitely a high quality tasting and looking recipe. My husband was beyond thrilled with this dessert. We served it with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side. I was asked to please not lose this recipe and to make it again. Always good to hear. If you are looking for an easy recipe that will be a sure fire hit, look no further.

What a delectible sweet treat! These bars were so different than anything i have ever tasted. Super crunchy bottom topped with soft cinnamony apples and smothered in glaze....YUM. Used nilla wafers in place of graham crackers.
