Definitly needs less sugar if using applesauce with sugar already in it. I baked this at 7,000 feet elevation and it turned out perfectly! (I used 1 cup sugar and a little extra flour) I loved the frosting--but used less sugar there also.

I read about all the granola bars on this site and chose to make these. They turned out great! I read lots of the reviews and ended up doing 1/2 white and 1/2 whole wheat flour, sub. flax meal for part of the wheat germ, adding an extra egg, putting in a little less sugar, doing part maple syrup and part honey, adding orange zest and juice to the wet ingredients, adding a little more cinnamon, subbing half applesauce for half of the oil, using a little almond extract because I didn't have vanilla, and most importantly (I think) changing one cup of oatmeal to old fashioned instead of quick. I used raisins and craisins and baked for about 25 minutes. The family loves them and are ready to take them on our car trip tomorrow!

I guess I hoped this would be something that it wasn't. It was edible, and that's about all I can say. Maybe I did it badly or I'm not a big enough fan of sausage.
