Very moist!! popular apple bars with carmel frosting! the absolute best of all the apple recipes i have ever tried. grating the apples helps let the apple juice ooze out and give flavor. always a winner. so yummy you'll smack your lips!! a good item to have with your coffee at snack time!

Steps

Cream butter and sugar.

Add beaten egg and mix well.

Add vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine flour , baking soda , salt , nutmeg and cinnamon.

Add to creamed mixture.

Add grated apples.

Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 9 inch baking pan.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

For frosting: bring brown sugar , butter and milk to a boil.

Boil only 2 1 / 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and add sifted powdered sugar while stirring.

Cool slightly and spread on bars.

Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.

Cool completely and cut into bars.

Store in air-tight container to retain moisture.

We enjoy it as is because the carmel frosting is sweet.

Also , we have had them with no frosting and just a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top.
