Mom brought this to me a few months ago. Since we're getting close to apple season (but not quite yet in St. Louis, eh Melissa?) I thought it would be fun to try this soon. I don't use margarine anymore, so I'll substitute unsalted butter. In case you can't make out what it says at the top, the recipe is dated 5-12-78 from someone called "Ardys Holte" and it serves 32. First one to try this, take a picture and send it to me please. :) (Is anyone else interested in how the unpeeled apples look when they're cooked? What kind do you think would work best, Jen?)
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. margarine (or unsalted butter)
1 egg, unbeaten
2 c. chopped, unpeeled apples
1 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. nuts
Stiff batter. Bake in 9"x12" (about) pan at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. (She wrote "less" above that, so maybe set the timer for 35 minutes and check on it.) Cool. Cut into 32 small bars. Roll in powdered sugar.

Such beautiful handwriting! Why would you not peel the apples?
That is weird that you wouldn't peel the apples. More fiber? Just lazy? We'll probably never know for sure.
