Jewel's recipe is proof that "good for you" can be delicious, too! I would be a happy camper if I could have one of these bars and a cup of coffee ever morning... Talk about getting the day off on the right foot! The Test Kitchen

How to Make Good For You Breakfast Bars

Step-by-Step

In a Dutch Oven combine dried apples, honey, raisins and brown sugar; heat and stir until mixture boils. Reduce heat slightly and cook uncovered for one minute, stirring constantly; remove from heat.
Stir in peanut butter until melted. Stir in apple butter and cinnamon. Stir in rolled oats, walnuts/pecans, wheat germ and sunflower seeds until well combined. Add cereal, stirring to coat.
Press mixture very firmly (or bars will crumble) and evenly into an ungreased 8x8x2 pan; chill to set.
Cut into 8 bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days in refrigerator. Good to take on hiking trails.
