Apple Pie Bars

I have to bring a “treat” to Mother’s Group on Wednesday, so I called my mom the other day and got her Apple Pie Bar recipe to make. The pan is in the oven right now and Mmm… it smells good!
I thought I would post the recipe since it is apple season back home, and here in NZ, well, it is always apple season! This is a great recipe to get you into Fall mode and smell your house up with delicious baked apples. Enjoy!

Thanks mom! (Could I get your Cherry Bar recipe too??)
