Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix all the dry ingredients together.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Fold in the diced apples, unsweetened applesauce, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
