Caramel Apple Bars
From Reiman Boards
These bars make a great fall dessert. We like to warm individual servings in the microwave and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It quickly became a family favorite. Maybe it'll become one of your family's, too.
SERVINGS: 15-20
CATEGORY: Dessert
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min.
Ingredients:
CRUST:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
FILLING:
4-1/2 cups coarsely chopped peeled baking apples
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
3 tablespoons butter
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and brown sugar until fluffy. Add flour, oats, salt and baking soda; mix well. Stir in pecans if desired. Set aside 2 cups. Press remaining oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
For filling, toss apples with flour; spoon over the crust. In a saucepan, melt the caramels and butter over low heat; drizzle over apples. Top with the reserved oat mixture.
