apple-pecan squares (or whatever shape you want to cut them into)

It's been a long, long while. And for that, I apologize. But here you go.... These bad boys are AMAZING substitutes for brownies. I didn't say they were better for you, but they're a nice variation on the idea of a tasty dessert bar. Serve 'em with some vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel... yeah... that sounds good...
