Applesauce bars



I have never been a fan of applesauce but Wes loves it so when I found this recipe on my all recipes app and saw we had all the ingredients I thought what the heck....and it paid off! Yum!

Ingredients
•1/4 cup softened butter
•2/3 cup brown sugar
•1 egg
•1 cup applesauce
•1 cup all purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (this I didn't have so I used cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg.
•1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
•3 tablespoons melted butter
•1 tablespoon milk
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease 9x13 pan.

In a bowl mix butter, brown sugar, and egg. Stir in the applesauce. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and spice. Stir into the applesauce mixture until blended. Spread in pan.

Bake for 25 minutes (edges should be getting golden brown).

Cool on wire rack.

In a small bowl mix together sugar and butter. Stir in vanilla and milk until smooth. Spread over cool bars.

We loved them!
