Mmmmm, delicious! These were extremely easy to make and I plan on using this recipe to teach little ones some cooking skills. Although the recipe title is "bars", I found this to be more cake-like, but it might have been because I halved the recipe and used a 9 inch square pan. So they are a bit thick for bars and I had to cook longer than the recipe called for. Still, since it's only two of us, half the recipe is the perfect size! I used a very ripe, fresh pineapple instead of canned. No nuts because I can't eat them. :-(. Reduced the sugar (its PLENTY sweet with all the fruit!!). And subbed baby-food applesauce for 1/3 the oil. Thanks for posting a keeper of a recipe - it's going straight into my All-Time-Favorites! Made for My 3 Chefs 2013.

I am 18 years old and live in New Bedford, MA. I love the outdoors and playing sports. Cooking and baking are one of my favorite things to do. I am a vegetarian so I dont cook with meat. I will go to college next year for nursing and hopefully become a paramedic.
