WALNUT, RAISIN, APPLE BARS



Walnut, Raisin, Apple Bars image

I made these yesterday and took them to a Labor Day Cookout and everyone thought they were delicious. I got the recipe from Family Circle Magazine, but I made a few changes. It called for dried apples but I used fresh ones and it didn't have walnuts in it, which I think goes so well with apples. This is going to be a keeper

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but think it was in one of the old cookbooks I had. I like it because it's chewy and with the ingredients that are in it gives it a great flavor.

So Very Good !! The filling is chewy, moist and delicious. Kind of reminds me of Pecan Pie, not the taste, but the texture.
