Definitely needs ripe tomatoes! I made this for Superbowl, and tomatoes weren't in season at all. The salsa was still tasty, but just not as "fresh" and flavorful as it could've been with a higher quality tomato.

For dietary reasons, I made a lot of adjustments to this recipe, but the bars were quite tasty (and I credit that to the original recipe, and some suggestions of other reviewrs, not my changes). I doubled the recipe and used a 13x9 pan. Added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon instead of 1/4, only used 2 Tbsp butter, and added 1/4 c. applesauce and 1 small, mashed banana. Only used 1/4 c. of both brown and white sugar, per other reviewer's recommendations, and doubled the amount of apple. I did keep the topping amounts as noted, since I'd cut the sugar in the base recipe. These wen't over really well with the kids as well as adults! (Really loved eating them warmed, too.)

This was fantastic! Made it as directed--if you don't like too sweet of a breakfast, you can avoid making the additional sauce, but we all enjoyed the added caramel flavor.
