One of my favorite family traditions that we have is our annual apple picking excursion. There’s no better way to ring in the Autumn season and create wonderful family memories.  Plus, you come home with bushels of apples to whip up  some wonderful concoctions with. Like these Apple Bars {with Coconut and Walnuts}.

Apple Bars {with Coconut and Walnuts}

A few weeks ago I shared my family’s favorite Apple Pumpkin Spice Bread recipe. I have been making that recipe for years now and it is a family favorite.

The recipe was taken from  a small recipe book only containing about 20 recipes. The book was put out by the apple growers of New Hampshire. It has apple recipes shared by different New Hampshire orchards.

I’m so glad I finally decided to try another recipe from the book! These Apple Bars {with Coconut and Walnuts} were absolutely delicious!
