Apple and cinnamon is such an amazing flavour combination that can be enjoyed in a number of ways and these bars make for a perfect fall treat! This recipe is a pretty basic cookie bar (aka blondies) recipe with fresh diced apples and cinnamon added. I also really enjoy the apple and toffee (or caramel) combo so I add plenty of toffee (or caramel) chips to the mix! It’s as easy to make these bars as mixing the wet ingredients, mixing the dry ingredients, mixing them together, and adding the apple and toffee chips before baking! The hardest part about making these bars is waiting for them cool enough to eat! I like to enjoy them warm, at room temperature or chilled, from the fridge! They keep well for several days so they are nice to make ahead of time to serve at special occasions, like Thanksgiving!
For an even more decadent treat, serve them warmed, topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce!

Looking forward to trying this recipe. Really hate all the pop up ads. They interfere with your recipes, pictures and even while I’m trying to type this. Love your site. Hate maneuvering the ads.
WE ALL HATE THE ADS…BUT LOVE THE RECIPES
8×13? Not 9×13 pan?
Where can we buy Toffee Chips?
You can usually find them in the baking section near the chocolate chips, with Heath being the most common brand. Enjoy!
Made these for after church social. They were delish, BUT they were not much like a “bar” due to the high moisture content. If I make them again I will cook the apples before adding to the batter, and may increase the flour by a half cup also. They were so moist that they wouldn’t retain their shape. Did anyone else have this issue?
I made these today- flavor was amazing-BUT- too cake like. Totally falling apart, lots of crumbs. If I make these again, I will add chopped pecans or walnuts, use 1 egg, and add a little oil or another 1/4 cup butter. The photo looked like they would be chewy….
The bars are very moist & need to be served in a bowl. I added about 1/2 cup extra apples after reading the reviews.
also baked for about 50 minutes. Still to moist!
