- 2 eggs
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 1 c. chopped dates

- Grease a 13-in x 9-in baking pan.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk together cake mix, brown sugar and cinnamon.

- Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or just until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
Notes
- COOK'S TIPS:
- Use your fingers to break up any large chunks of brown sugar when combining the dry ingredients, but don't worry about any smaller clumps.
- Pull the bars out of the oven when they're just golden brown. They should still be a little soft in the middle, since they will firm up a bit as they cool. This yields a chewy, gooey date bar!
- Eat them like blondies with your fingers, or garnish the bars with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an even more decadent treat!
- This easy date bar recipe freezes really well when wrapped tightly, so they're a great make-ahead option.
