Applesauce Bars

Last Wednesday we found ourselves snowed-in again.  Being snowed-in makes me want to bake something, and I had everything for these Mott's Apple Sauce Energy Bars.  These were pretty good!!  They are wholesome enough for Avery to have for breakfast and sweet enough to have for dessert.  For the dried fruit, I used raisins.
