danish apple bars
(2 ratings)
This recipe was given to me by my first husbands grandmother many years ago. She was known as the "Apple Lady", because they owned an apple orchard and she did a cooking spot on "Dialing for Dollars" in Milwaukee featuring her apple baking. Danish Apple Bars were always a favorite of mine and she taught me how to make them. After a few tries I was able to make them just the way she did. They are everything that you'd expect in an apple pie, but instead in a bar.
