FROSTING
Recipe by: Pillsbury, Cookies, Brownies & Bars, 1991 Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease and flour a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In a large bowl, beat the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt, oil, apple juice, pumpkin and eggs on low speed until moistened. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
For the frosting, combine the powdered sugar, margarine, vanilla extract and enough yogurt for desired spreading consistency; beat until smooth.
Frost the cooled bars; sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired. Refrigerate to set the frosting; cut into bars. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
