Cherry Holiday Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2
    cups all-purpose flour
  • 1
    cup quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 3/4
    cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2
    cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1
    teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
  • 1/4
    teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2
    cup applesauce
  • 1/4
    cup canola oil
  • 1 1/4
    cups cherry, raspberry, or strawberry preserves
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, lemon peel, and baking soda. Stir in applesauce and oil; mix well. If necessary, knead by hand to combine. Measure 1 cup of the oat mixture; set aside.

3. Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

4. Carefully spread the preserves evenly over the hot crust. Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture; pat gently into preserves. Bake about 30 minutes more or until top is lightly browned. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Using the edges of the foil, lift the uncut bars out of the pan. Cut into bars.

I think it should have been a 9 inch square pan that is 2 inches deep. It looks like the 'x' did not appear.

Is 992-inch baking pan a mistake for a 9 x 13 pan? I hope so because I have never heard of 992 inch pan or perhaps, is it a cookie sheet with sides?

This recipe calls for a 992-inch baking pan? Gee, could that possibly be a mistake? I can't believe how many I've found in your recipes!
