3 cups sliced apples (about 2 apples, 3-inch diameter, peeled)
2/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup sugar
Directions
Wash hands with soap and water. Gather ingredients and cooking tools.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Mix flour, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves, if desired.
Cut in margarine or butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture is crumbly.
Spread half of the crumb mixture in the baking pan. Top with apple slices and raisins and sprinkle with sugar. Spread remaining crumb mixture evenly over apples.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Cool and cut into 12 bars.

These bars make a tasty treat. We have used pears and plums, too.
