I have jars of apple butter that I put up last year. Today I played around with a very old recipe and came up with the perfect way to use up "some" of my apple butter. Notice I didn't say "all". Just another creative way to use goods I've put up. While I used my homemade apple butter, you can purchase apple butter in the grocery store to bake up a batch of these bars. The aroma of these bars baking, is intoxicating.
