We love apples here at this house. I found this recipe in Parent and Child Magazine. I had to alter it alittle, which I show below but it was really good. So I thought I would share.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter, softened, plus extra for the pan shopping list
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar shopping list
- 1 large egg, or 2 small ones shopping list
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg shopping list
- 2/3 cup white flour shopping list
- 2/3 cup wheat flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup 2% milk, or apple juice, or even orange juice shopping list
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, I used dried cherries as that is what I had shopping list
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, finely diced, I did not have these so I used dried bananas that I crush up well shopping list
- 1 large apple, peeled and diced, I did not peel it as I like the color and extra fiber shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Butter and flour a 9 by 9 inch pan.
- In a medium bowl cream together the butter and brown sugar.
- When light and fluffy add the egg(s) and milk.
- Mix well.
- Next add the spices and baking soda.
- Mix weell again.
- Add the flours.
- Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the fresh and dried fruits.
- Spread batter into the pan.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool before cutting.
- Makes 25 squares.
- TIP: Boost the fiber in cookie, cake, and bar recipes by substituting whole-wheat flour for half of the white flour.
- If serving them warm use whipped topping, yummmm.
