Smells From My Kitchen!!!


I got a new recipe from Ma when we were in Missouri this past week. Well tonight my scrapbook ladies and I are having a party! What better excuse than to try a new recipe right? Well I can't dig into them before the party but I had to post this one because it SMELLS SO GOOD! I'm sure they are great!


Glazed Apple Bars
1/2 c. butter
1 1/3 c. light brown sugar
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground cloves
1 egg
2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 med. chopped red apple
1 c. raisins
1 c. chopped pecans
1/4 c. milk

Preheat oven to 400. Grease a 15x10 jelly roll pan. Cream butter and sugar together. Add salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and the egg. Combine 1 c. flour & baking soda and add to butter mixture. Stir in the apples, raisins, milk, pecans, and remaining flour. ( I didn't pre read my recipe so I just mixed it all up together...seems to work out fine! ). Spread into the pan. I actually had to mash to get it all evenly in the pan. I was worried at first! Bake 10 minutes. Cool 10 minutes then brush with glaze.
Glaze:
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 1/2 T. warm milk
1 T. butter, melted
1/4 t. vanilla
1/8 t. salt
Mix altogether and spread over bars.
