How to Make Apple Butter Bars Mix Gift In A Jar

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Layer the dry ingredients in a jar, followed by the chopped nuts (pressing down gently after each layer).
In a separate jar or container, layer the remaining ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter or margarine (layer this in the jar after the dry ingredients and nuts).
To prepare the bars, empty the contents of the dry ingredient jar into a large bowl.
Add the melted butter/margarine from the second jar to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Mix well until combined.
Press half of the batter into the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, combine 1 ½ cups apple butter with the reserved nuts (if desired).
Spread the apple butter mixture evenly over the pressed batter in the pan.
Top with the remaining batter, pressing gently to level.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
