  • 2 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 egg

  • 2 tbsp dairy free butter we like Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks
  • 6 tsp coconut milk Or any non dairy milk. Add extra tsp as needed until desired consistency.
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Glaze

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk confectioner's sugar, dairy free butter, pumpkin pie spice and coconut milk together until smooth. Add more coconut milk until desired consistency. The glaze should stream down off a fork for drizzling across the bars. Use less milk for a frosting like consistency.
