How Do You Make Applesauce Pretzel Squares?
These applesauce pretzel squares are easy to make and they are a tasty treat. I like to take them to potlucks. If you want something a bit more diet-friendly, you can substitute Splenda brown sugar for the brown sugar in this recipe. Chop the pretzels into small pieces. You can do this any way you like, but the easiest way may be to put the pretzels in a large Ziploc bag and hit them with a hammer. You could also put them in a food processor, but you want them chunky, not ground to a powder. In a medium saucepan, combine the applesauce, ½ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir well. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, then remove from heat and allow to cool. In a mixing bowl, combine butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup flour. Mix well. Add chopped pretzels and mix well.
