No-Bake Apple Bars

Mix up cereal, fruit, nuts and more goodies on your stove-top. No baking is needed for these easy on-the-go bars.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups dried apples, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 cups Whole Grain Total® cereal
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup dry-roasted sunflower nuts
Directions
  • Line bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the apples and 1/4 cup of the pecans over bottom of pan. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and coarsely crush with rolling pin or meat mallet. Set aside.
  • In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 1/2 cup of the apples, the honey, raisins and brown sugar to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until hot and bubbly; remove from heat.
  • Stir peanut butter into cooked mixture until melted. Stir in apple butter and cinnamon. Stir in oats and sunflower nuts until well mixed. Stir in crushed cereal.
  • Press mixture very firmly (or bars will crumble) and evenly onto apples and pecans in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup apples and 1/4 cup pecans; press lightly into bars. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until set. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 3 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
