These are excellent. I did have to bake in a 9X13 pan, but just added another five minutes to the baking time and it was just right. The frosting is great! I had never made a cream cheese frosting with a full package of cream cheese and was a little apprehensive about the quantity. However, I decided to trust you. It is wonderful. I was even able to make it in my food processor since I realized at the last minute that my daughter had borrowed my mixer. I made it in have batches and probably pulsed for about 30-45 seconds and it was the perfect consistency.

My pumpkin cake really didn’t rise all that much. Should these be thin?

These are so good!! Spicy and sweet, with a nice pumpkin flavor. The PERFECT fall treat. I made them with gluten-free flour and used vegan Philadelphia cream cheese for the frosting due to our dietary restrictions, but they still turned out perfectly. I also had to use a 9x13 pan, so they were thicker, but with some added baking time they turned out just right!
I made them for church and everyone raved about them. My husband is already asking me to bake them again!

Most pans are 9 by 13 but if you’ve got a 9 by 15 that’s fine. A 9 by 13 would work as well bake time would just need to be increased.

And if you don't have a 15x10 pan then what? Why can't I use a 9"X15"?

Not this recipe. I have a pumpkin muffins and a spice cake that uses applesauce but not pumpkin bars. :)

Did this recipe previously use applesauce instead of butter? I've made these many times over the years, and I thought applesauce was an ingredient.

I’m sorry to hear this! Could the butter possibly be past it’s expiration or have an off fridge flavor to it? The butter flavor shouldn’t be overpowering.
