I had some apples to use up so we decided to make Apple Bars out of them. YUM!

Apple Bars

1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dairy free margarine, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups chopped and peeled apples

Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, sugar, and margarine. Add the applesauce and vanilla then mix again. Add the flour mixture to the applesauce mixture then mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in the apples. Spread evenly into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the middle springs back when touched. Cool in the pan before cutting.
