A simple spiced batter, fresh grated or shredded apples, and chopped walnuts make these apple bars moist and delicious. You can shred the apples with a mandoline, grate them with a food processor, or chop them very finely. And there's no need to peel the apples.
Sift some powdered sugar over the apple bars or serve them warm with a scoop of ice cream. They would be great drizzled with caramel sauce or a simple vanilla icing as well.
