I was in the mood to make something with butterscotch in it, and this is what came of it! I meant to make these for my friends, but my family got to them first! Enjoy! If you don't have apple jelly, use apricot preserves, its also really yummy!

Apple butterscotch bars are a delicious treat that combines the sweet taste of apples with the rich, buttery flavor of butterscotch. These bars are perfect for a mid-day snack, a sweet dessert, or even as a breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
To make the apple butterscotch bars, follow these steps:
1. Preheat oven and prepare baking dish:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Sift dry ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. Beat butter and sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy, about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
4. Add eggs and vanilla:
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
5. Mix in applesauce:
Mix in the applesauce until well combined, then gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in butterscotch chips:
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips until evenly distributed.
7. Bake and cool:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bars comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool in the dish for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Variations and Adjustments
These apple butterscotch bars can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Here are some ideas:
Add nuts:
Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter for added crunch and flavor.
Switch up the chips:
Try using chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or cinnamon chips instead of butterscotch chips.
Top with frosting:
Once the bars have cooled, top with a cream cheese frosting or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Make it gluten-free:
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version of the bars.
Conclusion
Apple butterscotch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will love. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, as a mid-day snack, or as a dessert, these bars are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Customize them to your liking with different mix-ins or toppings, and enjoy the sweet taste of apples and butterscotch in every bite.
