How to Make Mom's Apple Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup wheat germ, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), ¾ cup granulated sugar (or Splenda blend to taste), ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (step 2) to the wet ingredients (step 3), stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before sprinkling with sifted confectioners' sugar.
