Can you believe it is September already?  And stores now have Christmas decorations up.   Whoa, slow down Santa! We can’t skip my favorite season….Fall!  I love fall colors, cooler weather, football, festivals, and fall recipes, especially these Candy Apple M&M Magic Bars with a Sweet Apple Glaze.

Go on, say it.  You were expecting me to say Pumpkin, weren’t you?  I love pumpkin too, like my Pumpkin Praline Bread Pudding. However, this year apples are the flavor of fall. This includes fresh apples, apple sauce and apple juice, and a brand new Candy Apple M&M’s®.

Another thing I love about fall is fall baking. These new M&Ms inspired me to make these Candy Apple M&M Magic Bars with a Sweet Apple Glaze.   I love magic bars. You may also know them as 7 layer bars or Hello Dollies. 

These Candy Apple M&M Magic Bars with a Sweet Apple Glaze have a buttery graham cracker and rolled oats crust, chopped fresh apples, walnuts, coconut, Mott’s® Apple Sauce, sweetened condensed milk, Candy Apple M&Ms®, and White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms®, and topped with a sweet apple glaze made of Mott’s® 100% Apple Juice, powdered sugar, and a little milk.  Heaven!

In addition to the Candy Apple M&Ms® this fall, they also have these cute and delicious White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms® that are great for fall. I added these to the magic bars for more color and for another layer of flavor.

The recipe is easy. Stir in rolled oats into a cup of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press it into the bottom of a foil covered 9×9 pan. Sprinkle chopped apples, walnuts and coconut over the crust.

Next stir together Mott’s® Apple Sauce with sweetened condensed milk.

Pour the apple sauce mixture over the apples, walnuts, and coconut. Sprinkle Candy Apple M&Ms®, and White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms® evenly over the top. Some will sink in.

Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes for a 9×9 pan, and it comes out looking like this. You could also make this in a 9×13 pan for about 30 minutes. Your bars will be as thinner.

While the bars are cooling make the Sweet Apple Glaze with powdered sugar, Mott’s® Apple Juice, and a little milk.  After bars cool, cut them into squares, and drizzle the Sweet Apple Glaze over the top.

Be sure to save a serving (or two) for the cook.

These taste AHHH-MAZING!

Ingredients

Magic Bars

• 1 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• 2 small apples peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1/2 cup Motts® apple sauce
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup coconut
• 1/2 cup Candy Apple M&M's®
• 1/2 cup White Chocolate Candy Corn M&M's®
• 1/2 cup sweet apple glaze

Sweet Apple Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Motts® apple juice
• 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray or cover with foil.
• In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats and melted butter. Press into bottom of prepared 9x9 pan.
• Layer with chopped apples, walnuts, and coconut.
• In a small bowl, stir together apple sauce and sweetened condensed milk. Pour evenly over the top of the apples, walnuts, and coconut.
• Sprinkle Candy Apple M&Ms and White Chocolate Candy M&Ms evenly over the top.
• Bake in a prepared 9x9 pan in a preheated oven for about 50 minutes. If you are baking it in a 9x13 pan, it takes about 28 - 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the bars from the sides of pan while still warm. Cool on a baking rack. Then cut into squares.
• While the magic bars are cooling, make the sweet apple glaze. In a medium bowl, add powdered sugar, and stir in apple juice and milk. (You may need to add a little more milk to get the desired consistency.) Drizzle over the top of the cooled Candy Apple M&M Magic Bars before serving.
