Very tasty. My bars came out a little too moist, but made a great dessert cake.

This is one of those recipes that deserves 10 stars because there's no need to change anything for reasons other than personal taste, and it does exactly what it says it will do. My personal tastes do not like walnuts, so I sub'd half oats-half finely chopped pecans. And I threw in a dash of nutmeg. Just to dress it up a little, I made Luscious Buttercream Frosting (Submitted by: Land O'Lakes, Inc.) from this website and served it along side so people could use their desired amount. Admittedly, I was concerned the frosting would be too rich for such a rustic bar, but they both balanced each other out, giving an absolutely delicious dessert that everyone raved about!

This is a delicious alternative to apple crisp.I served it in pie wedges with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a bit of caramel sauce. I used some of the other suggestions and used 1/2cup of oats and 1/2 cup of walnuts and added a bit of lemon zest. I left my apples pretty chunky to see if I could get more apple taste based on others reviews. I had to cook mine about 50 minutes but that might just be my oven and so it was a bit brown on top which I disguised with some powdered sugar. I was very pleased with the result.

This is one of my most favorite recipes off this site. I make often because I always have these ingredients on hand. They are great as a weeknight dessert as you can make them while suppers cooking and as a dessert to take to a shower or potluck. They taste awesome served warm with vanilla icecream!

I also doubled the recipe and made a 9x13" pan. I thought these were a little too sweet. Most recipes for baked goods include at least a small amount of salt, and I wonder if that would have cut the sweetness a bit. I don't think I would make these again and will search for a different apple recipe.

I made these to bring to work and they were a success! I doubled the recipe using a 9x13 pan, I made with 1c white sugar & 1c brown sugar. I used Macintosh & Granny Smith apples and used 1c of raisins instead of walnuts. Once you get the apples peeled, everything else is so fast & easy! Thanks!!

This recipe is fantastic. It is so very easy and quite delicious. I read the other reviews and disagree with the problem of "doneness." First, use the correct type of apple. I have used two different types with no problems. I doubled the recipe and baked in a buttered 9x13 baking dish for 40 - 45 minutes, let cool, then cut into bars. Both times I have made this, it has come out wonderfully. My family loves them, my neighbors love them. This recipe is a winner and will stay in my recipe box. Thank you!

I just baked these and they turned out very tasty. They are more like a bread or a very cakey cookie. I used oatmeal instead of nuts and it turned out delicious. The only thing I'd change is maybe adding more apples next time.

Have made these several times. I put the batter in a pie plate to bake. When done, I serve with whip cream.

These were excellent! They WERE dense and moist and wonderful. I did use 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar because I like the flavor of brown sugar. We will make these often. Thank you!

This was a very good, simple recipe, perfect for fall baking. I think if some people are experiencing problems with this not turning out firmer it could be the type of apple they are using. Granny Smith are known to keep their shape when cooked or baked, whereas a macintosh or cortland are going to cook down quite a bit. It all depends what kind of apple you prefer to work with. We like the macintosh here so I don't mind if the bars don't come out as firm, the flavor we enjoy is there. Give it a try, but keep in mind the type of apple you use will most likely affect the outcome. Thanks for the recipe!

Whoever is not getting a solid bar out of this recipe must just be . I made them and they turned out wonderfully! I bake all of the time and friends tell me its the best thing i have ever made! If they turn out too soft, you should let them cool longer before trying to put them onto the cooling rack

Easy and the taste was good but wasn't really a bar, too moist. I even cooked it a little longer. Will not make again.
