Apple Spice Bars

List of Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 eggs
2 cups golden brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, diced (about 2-3 depending on size)
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnutsRecipe
Whisk together flour, baking powder, apple pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
With an electric mixer blend butter and brown sugar; about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and blend until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture and blend only until incorporated. Stir in apples, raisins and walnuts.
Prepare a 9 x 13 pan by either liberally coating it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper (as I always do). Spread apple mixture into prepared pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
If you lined your pan with parchment, let the bars cool for ten minutes and then lift out of the pan, otherwise wait until bars are completely cool before cutting them into squares before removing.
Sprinkle squares with powdered sugar.
