So all the Apple Butter Bars I made this past weekend are already gone. So, I guess that means I better get around to posting this recipe since they're so good. This dessert reminds me of my childhood. When it was my birthday, I would sometimes bring this tasty treat in to share. I still love them today as much as I did 25 years ago. It's a fitting Fall treat and also a fun splurge for breakfast, anytime. Bring along a jar of your favorite Apple Butter to your host for Thanksgiving. Don't forget to attach a sweet note with this recipe. What a perfect treat? Happy Fall eating! xo RCN
Ingredients:
2 Cups Old Fashion Oats (I use Quaker Oats)
1 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Allspice
3/4 Cup Butter, softened
1 Cup Apple Butter (I would maybe up that a little next time I make them)
Directions:
Lightly grease a 9" square baking pan. In a large bowl combine lasts, flour, sugar, salt and spices. Add butter and beat with electric mixer (I use my stand mixer) on low speed until mixture is crumbly.
Pat half the micro into the pan. Spread apple butter evenly over crumb layer (it's okay if oats mix in some w/ apple butter). Sprinkle remaining crumbs over apple butter and press down gently. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until golden (my oven took more like 35). Slice into a dozen bars and enjoy!
