Baking With Dorie: Applesauce Spice Bars


This week it's Chaya of Chaya's Comfy Cook Blog's turn for hosting BWD and she has chosen Applesauce Spice Bars on page 117 of Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan. Hop over to her blog for the recipe!

I loved preparing this week's bake as it did not take any time at all!! And the ingredients of apple, pecan and cinnamon made the kitchen smell terribly wonderful as they were baking in the oven.

A little note: I omitted the raisins and substituted applesauce with homemade apple puree. Plus there were not enough glaze to cover the entire bar, so I made double the recipe.

A lovely snack to have with tea, the minimal ingredients yielded 32 little bars!! I saved a few pieces for home and took a dozen bars to my sister's place and the rest will be shared with the lovely people at the office!


See how the other BWD bakers did this week here.

  2. I'm glad they're easy to make- I'll be trying to make them later today, after I go to the grocery store for the mad holiday food buying.

    Yummylicious!

  3. Yours turned out beautifully. They are perfect. I baked it in the parchment paper which buckled so my cake had some interesting indents. Who cares? I love this.
