Spiced Apple Bars

4 cups all-purpose whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups apples (cored, peeled and diced)

1) Preheat oven to 350F.  Prepare a 9x13 pan by buttering the bottom and sides.
2) In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice).
3) In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (egg, buter, vanilla and milk).
4) Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.  Mix in the fruit.
5) Bake for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Let cool before serving.

Review:  I had lots of leftover apples from making pie this weekend.  I wanted to make apple bread, but found I did not have vegetable oil in the house.  I googled recipes for bread that didn't use oil.  I found a recipe for "quick bread."  The name was quite a misnomer!  I tweaked it to use more fruit than it called for (as I had lots of apples) and made it in a flat pan, as I knew the extra fruit would not be conducive to rising in a loaf pan.  It turned out juuuuuust fine!  Though, this is best served with butter slathered on it.  Yum!!
