I followed Nicole's directions exactly, so head over to her site to check them out! Oh, and definitely store leftovers in the fridge!
For a more authentic version, maybe these would do the trick?
Are you a fan of lemon bars? I wasn't actually as a kid, but meyer lemons have me running to the store :) More importantly, have you tried meyer lemons yet???

I've never been a huge fan of lemon bars, but your meyer lemon applesauce bars look great! I like the idea of nuts in the crust and an applesauce filling. I have yet to cook or bake with meyer lemons, and kick myself every time I read about a recipe like this one. I need to pick some up!
Meyer lemons are all the rage right now! I need to jump on that bandwagon because I love the idea of them, haven't tried them yet. these bars sound so good!
That hazelnut crust sounds very good. I keep seeing Meyer lemons, and I really need to get some!
Mmm I love the sound of that crust and I love that these are healthier than the traditional bars! You definitely made some good use of those meyers!
ow ow ow! They look so good. I <3 lemon desserts. And I like that they have applesauce in them too. Great job
I haven't had lemon bars in forever, and I simply must try these!
How wonderful! I love lemon bars!
you tell me i am so creative, so are you! i mean just the crust alone is good enough for me. lol! i should try and cook more healthy, well i do cook healthy i just bake unhealthy.
I love lemon bars and I like how this recipe is actually pretty healthy!
These bars sound amazing! I love the hazelnuts in the crust and the combo of applesauce and meyer lemon flavors, so good!
Those look fantastic! I love lemon bars and haven't had them in years.

You had me at Meyer. Such a great recipe.
I've never made lemon bars - what's usually in the filling? These look delightful. I'm definitely going to play with some Meyer lemons next year - I didn't know what I was missing!
