How to Make Fruit And Nut Bars
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots, etc.).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup apple butter or unsweetened applesauce.
- Remove from heat and let the fruit mixture cool completely (10-20 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 2 large egg whites until light and frothy.
- Add the beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the cooled fruit mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
