Pumpkin Bars- My favorite!

These have been in the family forever! They are great for any fall dinner. They are a must at our Thanksgiving table.

2 C Flour
2 C Sugar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
4 Eggs
I Can Pumpkin (2 pie size) NOT PIE MIX
1 C Crisco Oil

Combine all ingredients. Pour onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Tip: If you like pie texture cook for 25 minutes, for medium (which I like best) cook for 35 and if you prefer cake like texture go for 45.

Frosting:
2 1/2 C Powdered Sugar
3/4 C Butter softened
3 oz. Pkg Cream Cheese
1 TBSP Milk
Beat until Smooth

Stove Top Applesauce

Try this way to make applesauce.

6 C (about 6 medium apples) apples, cored, and cut into 3/4 in. pieces. I like Jonagold or Mcintosh
3/4 C water
1/4 C sugar, preferably turbinado
2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Combine Apples, water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionaly. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are very tender and skins are softened, about 40 minutes. Uncover and simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and cinnamon. Cool for 30 minutes.
Using a fork or masher, mash apple mixture until course or chunky. You can also do it in a food processor. Serve at room temp or chill.
Tip: I like to tie a cinnamon stick in a small cheesecloth bag and cook it along with the apples instead of using powdered cinnamon. This method gives the sauce a pretty color; applesauce with red skinned apples will look lusciously pink. Plus your house will smell to die for!
