Apple Bars

The weather was so dreary yesterday that we ended up not getting our tree.  Instead, we got lots of Christmas shopping done, had a nice dinner (made by Ryan) of Teryiaki Chicken & Rice.  Sorry, I forgot to take a picture!

Then I browsed the cookbooks to find another apple dessert recipe... well I found one for Apple Bars.  Here are some pictures for your enjoyment! (p.s. don't be jealous of my Saturday night baking clothes ;))
