Tips for success
-
Don’t let the filling be watery – a short evaporation of the juice will ensure the slices won’t become soggy.
-
Bake the layers until light golden; too dark and they will be brittle or crumbly.
-
A pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg in the filling enhances the flavor.
Conclusion
Bakery-style apple bars are proof that traditional recipes always work. Simple ingredients, quick preparation and honest flavor make this cake an ideal choice for Sunday afternoons and festive tables. Bake them a day ahead – they become wonderfully tender and can be cut into perfectly even squares.
