these are pretty good. i doubled the recipe, but not the topping and chopped up 2 whole granny smith apples and baked in a 9x13 as suggested by other reviewers. however, even with not doubling up the topping, i still thought it was too much. next time i will halve the topping so i don't feel like i'm eating a mouth full of sugar.

My family really enjoyed these but for me personally, they were way too sweet. I used a whole granny smith apple instead of a half and only sprinkled a little of the cinnamon/sugar mixture on the top. I will cut the sugars down next time I make. I also left out the walnuts (personal preference.)

yuummmm!!!...very thin, though, and definitely more topping than needed

I was pretty happy with the end result, but after reading other reviews, I, like many others, made some changes to the original recipe. I decided to make a double batch, so I doubled everything except for the sugars - I only used 3/4 cup of each. I increased the apples to 3 cups, but next time I think I would use at least 4 cups for the double batch. I think that in the future I might add some oatmeal as well. I also added 1/4 cup of apple juice, and instead of doing the cinammon sugar topping, I did a streusel topping of 2 Tbsp flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinammon, and 2 Tbsp cold butter. The streusel wasn't very impressive, though, so I ended up topping the bars with cream cheese frosting and then sprinkling them with cinammon. The bars stuck to the pan (even though I greased it) and crumbled some, but they ended up tasting pretty good.

Good, sweet though, more like a dessert than I had expected...easy to make, and very very moist!

I have made these 3 times to all rave reviews! I have always doubled the recipe and greased an 7X11 pyrex each time. My daughter does not like walnuts so I increased the apples the one time I didn't add walnuts. They were perfect each time. It is okay to top with cinnamon sugar to taste. We have done a little and a lot and again, either way they were delicious!

Good bars with a brownie-like texture. Next time I'll use a Granny Smith and halve the cinnamon sugar topping.

Very, very good. My family loved it! Next time I will use an entire apple instead of just 1/2 cup. Thank you for sharing!

Terrific! Per others, I doubled everything except for the topping (kept the same), lowered the sugars to 3/4 cup each, and used 2 cups apple. I baked for 33 min. Go easy on the topping - you don't need to use all of it.

This is the best snack ever... healthy or not and it makes the perfect dessert when heated and served with a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream

I wasn't so fond of these but my husband LOVED them! There was DEFINETELY too much cinnamon and sugar mixture for the top...you could definetely cut the mixture by 3/4 and still have plenty to cover the top!

Love this! Have made several times - however I leave out the walnuts...

Love this recipe! It was so easy and tasted so good!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

My family loved these! Super easy and delicious. I doubled the recipe the second time. I also used almonds instead of walnuts. Very good!

These were great! Made a few changes- I doubled the recipe and used a 9x13 pan. Used 2 medium sized Granny Smith apples. I made a struesel topping (flour, cinnamon, sugar, and cut in the butter) instead of the cinnamon/sugar mix. baked for 32 minutes, came out perfect! Tasted like an apple coffee cake. This will be a regular recipe for me!

Yummy

"It's awweeesomme...", "Awsimmm", "it tastes wike appell cimmamom... mmmmm" are all responses from my daycare kids telling me how yummy their snack was! "They're the tastiest apple cinnamon bar I've ever eaten" from my boyfriend... good thing I doubled the recipe! The only change I made was I left the walnuts out and added a bit less sugar. Delicious! Thanks!
