How To Make apple bars
-
Step 1In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy; stir in vanilla and egg. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg.
-
Step 2Add flour mixture to butter mixture; mix thoroughly. Fold in apples and nuts if using.
-
Step 3Spread batter in a greased 9" x 9" baking pan. Bake at 350-degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.

Step 4When I leave the nuts out, I often add in 3/4 cup of raisins in it's place.
