Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delicious bars:
- 4 cups of diced apples (Granny Smith or your favorite kind)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Now let’s get to the fun part, making these bars!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent any sticking during baking.
- In a large bowl, mix together the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make sure the apples are well coated and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, softened butter, and a pinch of salt. You want a crumbly mixture. Use your hands to mix it up if you need to!
- Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish. This will be your base.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the base layer.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples. Don’t be shy now; make it generous!
- Finally, crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top of everything. It should look crumbly and delicious.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
- Once done, let it cool completely before cutting it into bars. It might be tempting to dig in right away, but trust me, it’s worth the wait!
