TWD: applesauce spice bars

Procrastination seems to be my middle name lately. I waited until Monday night after work to make these applesauce spice bars and ended up taking pictures of them around 8:00 (hence the blue tint). I don’t even have a good excuse for putting them off. I totally could have made them on Sunday but I was too busy lounging on the couch recovering from margarita night at Erin’s. I must blame Erin for my laziness. Her margaritas were too good. I also blame Pete for letting me do this.

Cigar mouth Sunday morning was not pleasant. So there are my excuses. I’m sure you’re thinking I’m just lazy and I’m that too. But the story has a happy ending. I did make the bars. I halved the recipe since it’s just Pete and me. Charlie is no help now that he is on a self-imposed diet. He wants to get back to fighting weight. Good luck chunky cat.

I made the recipe as directed but substituted walnuts for pecans and did not add applejack. I was fresh out.

I made a full recipe of the glaze because I was too lazy to try and half it. My brain does not want to mess around with fractions at night and I really wanted to watch True Blood so I was in a hurry. 

Pete really liked these. He said they were yummy approximately 1,000 times. So I guess I’ll believe him. I liked them. Not my most favorite but I wouldn’t say no if someone offered me one. I will be enjoying these for breakfast for the next couple of days. I’m thinking they probably get better with age.

Thanks to Karen of Something Sweet for picking this week's winner. Head on over to her blog for the recipe. Check out Tuesdays with Dorie to see what all the other wonderful baker's did this week. Let me know if anyone else is smoking cigars. Damn margaritas.
