I was surprised after I fixed this at how good it was. I didn't include the nuts, cut the oil & used unsweetened applesauce-1 cup. I substituted brown sugar for the white & cut that as others as suggested to 1 1/2 cups - still sweet enough. It went over wonderfully in our home & will surely make it again.

This was very tasty. On other reviewers' suggestions, I reduced the sugar to 1 and a 1/2 C. The only other thing I would do differently next time would be to mix the chips into the batter. Also, I didn't have tart apples but it was still good with what I used.

Absolutely wonderful!! I decreased the sugar to 1 1/2 cups as suggested and I also used 1/3 veg. oil and 4 oz of unsweetened applesauce, instead of the full amount of oil as stated in the original recipe. I also cooked the cake in a 15x10 jelly roll pan. A perfect recipe for those extra apples at harvest time!

I *LOVE* this cake! I cut the sugar back as well bc it was seriously hurting my teeth. 1 1/2 C as previously mentioned is perfect. I have actually made this several different ways but don't reduce the butterscotch it adds more flavor than sweetness.

Five stars for easy, five stars for delicious, five stars for fast! Moist and not as heavy as I was anticipating. I added a bit more apple, combination of granny smith and red delicious, used pecans and decreased the sugar by just a quarter cup. I also didn't have butterscotch chips but you all have to try the cinnamon chips!!! Thank you for a great recipe.

Sounded great,but : followed directions but decreasing sugar,still too sweet,and baking the allowed time. However,nicely browned outside,but like raw cookie dough inside.

A little sweet so I will cut back on the sugar as suggested in other reviews but it was delicious! The butterscotch really sets it off. Believe the recipe when it says thick!

So tasty! Made a few changes (used applesauce instead of oil, used 1 1/2 c of sugar and mixed half the chips in with the recipe and topped with the remaining half). My boyfriend and I ate the entire batch in 2 days (while we were studying for finals....if that's an acceptable excuse). Recipe stayed very moist for those 2 days, but I suspect it would keep moist even longer. Thank you!

Made this for a school fundraiser and it was great. Easy to make also used the all-purpose flour. Made one batch with nuts and one without - topped them with powdered sugar.

Just tried this recipe, and the resulting snack bars are delicious! Well worth the workout that the arm gets mixing the stiff dough. Since I used All Purpose Flour, I followed the directions in an earlier review by adding baking powder and salt to the flour mixture. Perfect recipe to use for take along meals, picnics, etc.

This recipe is strikingly similar to one from a favorite cookbook of mine, the only differnces are this one adds the vanilla and calls for 1 cup of butterscotch and the cookbook version calls for 3/4 cup. I have made this (the cookbook's way) many, many times and always get asked for the recipe. The batter is very thick, dough like and can easily fool you into thinking you forgot to add something, lol. Kids love this, and even friends who've said they don't like butterscotch loved these bars. They also pack well for picnics and potlucks.

I made this for company yesterday and everyone loved it! It was very easy to throw together and I will make it again today for a carry-in. Next time I will cut the amount of sugar as some of the reviews suggest, as the butterscotch chips make it plenty sweet. Apple Snack Squares are the best comfort food!

This recipe was easy and very different. I also cut back on the sugar and substituted 1/2 brown sugar. I only cooked it for 30 minutes and it came out perfect. My husband, family and neighbors loved it!

This is great. I made it for work, and everyone raved! The only thing is when they say the mixture is thick, they aren't kidding. The more you work the apples and walnuts into it, it becomes more pliable and easier to mix.

My family and co-workers really liked this receipe. It smells great when it's cooking. I used less sugar and less oil, as was suggested by previous reviewers. It was easy and it came out great. It's even better the next day!

EXCELLENT! I read previous reviews and also cut sugar back to 1 & 1/2 C. I reduced oil to 1/2 C. and then added 1/4 C. applesauce. I didn't have self rising flour; used 1 C. All-Purpose, 1 & 1/4 tsp. baking powder and pinch of salt for every 1 C. of self-rising flour. Cake was wonderful! Didn't use nuts because I have two toddlers that don't do nuts yet. I highly recommend the butterscotch chips. Will definitely make again!

These are delicious and easy to make. I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups as we like to taste more apple than sugar, I used 4 cups of apples and an extra teaspoon of vanilla. Kids and adults alike loved this recipe. I am thinking of trying Hershey's Cinnamon Chips on top next time! Made it twice in as many days!

I was doomed after making these just once...now everyone wants them! I don't use nuts though since my husband doesn't like them, but they taste great all the same. I tend to use more then 1 cup of butterscotch chips. That's the best part!
