Ingredients
  • RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Quick Cookie Bar Crust (see recipe)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup apple jelly
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped dates
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
  • Prepare the Quick Cookie Bar Crust and allow it to cool in the pan.
  • Heat the oven to 350°. Combine the honey, apple jelly, and butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Whisk the mixture occasionally until the butter and jelly melt, about 5 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Mix the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until they're well mixed, then whisk in the honey mixture. Next, stir in the dates and walnuts.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly with a spoon. Bake the bars on the center oven rack for 25 minutes, until they're a rich golden brown. Transfer the bars, in the pan, to a wire rack to cool thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate the bars for 1 to 2 hours before slicing. Makes up to 24 bars.
