Yummy:) these don't last very long in my house. I'm allergic to nuts, so instead of walnuts, I used about a 1/2C. quick cook oats and about 1/2C. raisins. I also like it with brown sugar crumbled on top.

This was really good, like a very moist apple cake. Added about 1/2 cup more apples and used half brown and half white sugar, and a pinch of cloves and nutmeg!

I took the advice of another reader and used 1/2 c. of white surgar and 1/4 c. brown sugar. Also added 1/4 c. butterscotch chips. Used 1 1/4 c. flour and 1/2 c of oats. I added 1/2 t. of vanilla and used baking powder instead of soda to make a firmer bar. They taste like apple crisp. Yum.

Yummm!! Doubled recipe and baked in 9x13. Did half white and half brown sugar and per other review, I used baking powder for a true bar texture....They are wonderful!

I made these for a work function, everyone loved them. I made a double batch and substitued half of the butter with applesauce and then sprinkled oatmeal on top. They turned out very moist and very tasty! We are nut free at work so I couldn't add the nuts but they are fine without them.

I didn't have baking soda so used baking powder instead, used a little less sugar (3/4 cup) since I don't like things overly sweet, and also threw in some raisins and a little bit of milk to make it easier to spread out the batter. I think they're great! It only took 30 minutes for them to bake. They didn't rise, so this recipe is like a bar (think lemon bars). Doubling the recipe in an 8 X 8 pan would make it thicker, more like an apple cake. It doesn't really make 16 bars, unless you like them very small. I cut it into thirds for a total of 9 bars. Using a type of apple that's sour is a good suggestion.
