Apple Cinnamon Cookie Bars

• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• nutmeg Pinch of fresh
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• 1 cup brown sugar packed
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raisins you can leave these out or try dried cranberries
• 2 apples cored and diced, I used Granny Smith
• cinnamon sugar mixture to sprinkle on top

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter with the sugars on medium until creamy. This will take a minute or two. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
4. On low, add the eggs, one at a time. Beat until combined. Add in the vanilla. Beat on medium until everything is smooth and mixed together.
5. Turn mixer on low. Add a little flour. Slowly mix and add until all of the flour is combined. Don't over mix.
6. Stir in the raisins and apples.
7. Spread the dough evenly into prepared pan. Use a spatula to make sure the dough is nice and even. Sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
8. Bake for about about 30 minutes. You want the bars to be golden brown.
9. Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a rack. Cut the bars once they are cool. Serve and enjoy!
