Apple Walnut Bars

My family loves this easy apple recipe. Apple Walnut Bars are the best when you have apples available, fresh from the orchard in the fall, but they are delicious any time of the year. I like these squares while still a little warm…with a little homemade vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce on top.
