I made these for my daughter's class for Johnny Appleseed day. They were a huge hit. Several kids asked their moms to get the recipe.

Awesome! I left out the nuts. I added about 1 cup of finely chopped grannie smith apple. I will also use less cinnamon sugar mixture next time.

Very good simple recipe. Baked 2 of these before work today and took one to the office and one to my husband's office. Great reviews. Several asked for the recipe. I drizzled with a little caramel frosting (on this site) on the top and then also took a tub of CoolWhip for those that wanted that also on their warm dessert. Not necessary but they sure loved it. Easy to make and enjoyed by all.

These were fantastic! I doubled the recipe in a 9 x 13 pan. Used 2 cups of honey crisp apples, didn't double the sugar topping. I thought it was good, but my older brother thought it needed more sugar (he's got a small sweet tooth). I will definetely make these again. When you are mixing the batter it looks like there is not enough liquid, but as long as you don't overbake (I left mine in for 33 minutes), they will be super moist and delicious!

These were amazing! I used 1 Macintosh apple, which was a little more than 1/2 c, & diced it small. The flavor was incredible & the testure was soft & melt in your mouth! I'd like to experiment w/different toppings other than the cinnamon sugar tho! Thank you-another favorite recipe!!!

This was my first time making this recipe. I read reviews and decided to double the recipe and add a tad more apples (like 1/2 cup more diced apple). First, the "batter" was so thick I added about 1-2T of tart cherry juice. I did not add the sugar on top - I only added some cinnamon. I used a 9"x9" square pan baked at 350. My issues with this recipe are; (1) with the doubling in that pan it took nearly an hour to bake and i had ot put aluminum foil to keep the to from burning (which worked wonderfully), (2) It was too sweet for my taste. i like sweet things in general, but I used Jonagolds and the cake was just too sweet, (3) It was too "cakey" I thought it would be more dense and bar-like but it was more cake-like and I was disappointed. They aren't horrible and I am sure my hubby will eat them as will I but if I attempt this recipe again, I will certainly need to make a lot of changes.

I cut the sugar in half, doubled the apples, and inadvertantly omitted the sugar/cinnimon mixture sprinkled on top in my initial batch. With these changes, the cake came out moist and flavorful, and it dsappeared quickly at the event at which they were served. I'm making another batch tonight!

I also doubled the batch. Put 2 1/4 cup diced apples and only used 3/4 cup sugars. I didn't want walnuts so I chopped up some peanuts which turned out to be a good addition.

SO yummy! A great way to use up extra apples from apple-picking. Had to add couple tablespoons of apple juice to be able to mix the flour into the sugar/egg mix, and it is a bit tricky getting the bake time right (all those reviewers said DO NOT OVERBAKE! so I was a little scared, esp living in a high altitude area) - I would say go with 30 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!

Double the apple and sprinkle a mixture of white and brown sugar on the top would be excellent.

I made this for my volleyball team pasta dinner and the girls gobbled it up. Like many suggested, I doubled the recipe without doubling the topping and made it in a 9x13. I quadrupled the apples (but left out the nuts) so I had to up the cooking time a little, but it came out perfectly and I will definitely make it again!

This took no effort and turned out amazing! I added a little extra cinnamon to both the batter and the topping as well as a pinch of pumpkin pie spice as well as a touch of almond extract as someone else had suggested - it was delicious! I also decided to make it in a 10" pie dish so I could serve slices which worked wonderfully! It goes amazing with some fresh vanilla ice cream!

These are very easy to under/over cook, but they are still excellent. I brought them to work and everyone loved them! It is hard to keep them in a "bar" shape, but they were delicious nevertheless!

Very good! I was looking for a quick, "fallish" afternoon snack to make today, and this fit the bill perfectly! I followed BarbiAnn's directions exactly, except for omitting the walnuts (I only had pecans on hand and didn't feel they would be a good substitute) and using about 3/4 cups worth of GrannySmith apple (my large apple was well over a 1/2 cup's worth; I realized that half of it would suffice, but decided to add a tad more - and then eat the rest!). I used my 9 inch Pampered Chef stoneware baking dish for this and baked for a total of 27.5 minutes. I still think I could have baked longer, but the top was VERY brown so I decided not to.... My only suggestions (for next time!) are to double the recipe (not the topping tho) and cover with foil to prevent excessive browning. I think with these changes, my bars would turn out even better! As is, they are just too thin (IMHO) and don't hold up well once cut (they crumble easily), but that's a minor complaint that can easily be corrected by doubling the batter. Thanks for sharing your idea, Barbi :)

Well, these have been out of the oven for an hour and are almost gone! Everyone liked them. Chewy little apple treats. I decreased the sugar by 1/4 of a cup, and increased the apples by a 1/2 cup. Perfect for this time of year.

tastes great! I did as other reviewers suggested - increased apple and decreased sugars. For the topping, I also cut the cinnamon in half. I also added about 1 T. of brown sugar. It made a great topping!
