Apple Harvest Squares
This recipe is more than 75 years old. Mom made it often, since it was Dad's favorite. We have so many wonderful apple orchards in Rhode Island, and I really enjoy taking my grandsons out to pick our own. —Maxine Hearney, Providence, Rhode Island

I substituted brown sugar for the white sugar, added 2/3 c of rolled oats (1/3 to the crust, the other with the coconut topping), then substituted applesauce for the evaporated milk, and it turned out wonderfully! I will definitely be making this often, especially in the fall!
The squares had a good taste but they didn't stay firm when picked up. I had to cut them in small squares. Also, I gave it three stars because what do you do with almost a full can of evaporated milk, when this recipe only calls for 1/3 cup?
These squares were delicious! They stayed together well and are even better after sitting for a day. I think they would be perfect if you subbed brown sugar for the white sugar in the coconut/milk/nut mixture.

turned out really delicious, added 1 cup more apples, and sprinkled with a little nutmeg, to give it that little something, for the topping I added 1/3c. nuts, what I really liked, the slices stayed nice and firm even the next day, will definitely make it again. thanks for a great recipe!
I have used this recipe for about 17 years. I got it from an elderly friend who was a wonderful cook and had a fantastic collection of family recipes. She shared many of them with me and this one has become a family favorite.
