Fruit Filled Oatmeal Bars

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Hearty, yummy, and even fairly healthy (if you want it to be!). These are not like granola bars but more like a brownie with a nice crust. Originally taken from BH&G "New Cook Book", 1989--now that I live overseas, I love these older cookbooks because so many of the recipes are still "from scratch" and don't use convenience products that are too expensive or haven't come here yet. Thanks to my Grams for sending it to me when I moved! :)

    ***following Cookbook's 'shortcut' Suggestion of Substituting 10 Oz Jar of Preserves in Place of Homemade Filling, used a Store-Bought, Very Dense, Low-Moisture Apple Butter (like a Thick Jam). I Have Also Tried It With Blueberry Preserves but the Preserves Were Too Moist--It Made the Bars Sticky not Good.***.
