Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large egg and ½ cup of apple butter to the mixture, mixing on low speed until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon of allspice.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment and cool completely before slicing.
