How to Make Moist Applesauce Cocoa Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup applesauce, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chip and nut mixture evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
