How to Make Apple Oatmeal Squares
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened margarine, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan (or line with parchment paper for easy removal).
- Press the oat mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to firm up.
