So Halloween is just over a week away…

I am not a dresser-upper…I wish I could get into it, but I just can’t. And long gone are the days that my kids are cute and snuggly in their costumes. It’s all about being terrifying or “cool”.

In fact my 9 year old is going to be a gangster. He chose this costume because he has recently adapted a 1920’s-ish Transatlantic accent that he wanted a costume to match.

Developing accents and then matching costumes is the obvious way to go about Halloween, yes?

Anyhow, he walks around saying through clenched teeth, “I’m going to the bathroom, see?”

and “I’ve got a lot of homework, seeee?”

AND “I’d like to play Minecraft, seeeeee?”

Because apparently ending all phrases with “see?” is 1920’s Gangster-speak.

See?

And really any excuse to call someone a dirty scoundrel is the obvious way to go.

So with Halloween fast approaching, means the demise of apple season..so let’s hit it one last time before it’s over with these Chunky Apple Snickerdoodle Bars. See? (Ganster talk is addicting)

Chunky Apple Snickerdoodles...a soft, buttery bar loaded with apples and cinnamon sugar! Such a fun twist on the average Snickerdoodle!

I made possibly the easiest bars ever for you here. And they are full of apple chunks and cinnamon sugar. You guys are going to love these.

They’re so easy, in fact, that I thought it unnecessary to bore you with loads of pouring and mixing shots. All you need for these is a bowl and a wooden spoon. Oh, and a knife to dice your apples. Oh yeah, and a pan to bake them in.

But they’re simple, I swear.

Just mix all your ingredients in a bowl and then spread it into a foil lined baking dish.

Then sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar.

Let them bake up and cool completely if you can stand it. They are super soft bars and if you try and cut them before they are cooled they will surely break apart.

Patience, my friends.

But when you’re ready you’re taste buds will thank you.

Delicious Chunky Apple Snickerdoodles...a soft, buttery bar loaded with apples and cinnamon sugar!

I made this recipe in an 8×8, but absolutely double it (or even triple it) and bake it in a 9×13. If you make a larger batch just adjust the bake time.

Oh, and I wanted to say, I’ve noticed a lot of you guys tagging me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with pictures of recipes of mine you have made. I LOVE IT!

Tagging me is great, but also use the hashtag #cookiesandcups so everyone can search your picture..especially on Instagram. It’ll be like a baking party!!

  1. Wanted to know about going gf with this? Has anyone perefected a method! Tones of apples left over and wabt to use them up – made these as is once and they were too good!

  2. Sara Burnette

    Made these tonight…delicious! This is my favorite kind of dessert! And quick and easy too. Thank you!

  3. I made these and they were soooooo good! I’m going to make them for my husband’s work Christmas party and was wondering what the baking time would be if I did them in a 9X13?






    1. I would start at the same bake time and check…adding additional minutes. I would guess 35-ish minutes would be about right, but let me know!

  4. I made these and the bars are delicious(!), but I had to keep the pan in the oven for at least 45 minutes. The edges were just barley done by 25 minutes, and not sure why. My oven can’t be that far off, right?!

    1. I used Gala because that’s what I had at home, but you could use any kind…Granny Smith probably being the most popular option!

  5. I just got a bunch of apples in my produce box and this is what I am going to make with them! These look so good. I also agree the 1920 gangster speak is catchy, I started to read the blog in a 1920’s gangster sounding voice in my head. I might have to use the speak while baking these! 🙂
