APPLE RECIPES DAY 1

Sour Cream Apple Bars

I don't know how quite to explain these except: I love them, I love them, I love them....

This recipe comes from LeighAnne over at Homebased Mom, originally from Land O'Lakes recipe collection.  She posted about them a few weeks ago, and I knew I just had to try them to start the fall off right.

Crust:
1 C butter, softened
1 C firmly packed brown sugar
2 C uncooked quick cooking oats
1 C flour
1 C chopped pecans
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
Filling:
1 C sour cream
3/4 C sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 egg
2 medium (about 2 cups) apples, unpeeled, shredded

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine butter and brown sugar in large bowl.  Beat at medium speed until creamy.  Add  remaining crust ingredients and beat until well mixed.

Press HALF of crust mixture onto bottom of ungreased 13 x 9 pan.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown.

While crust is baking combine the filling ingredients; mix well.  Gently pour the filling over the hot, partially baked crust.  Crumble the remaining crust mixture over the top of the fill and press down lightly.
Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.  Cool.  Cut into bars.  Store refrigerated.

They were absolutely delish...so creamyin the middle, just enough cinnamon to scream FALL!!

Go ahead and try them!
