This is a delicious recipe for caramel apple bars. I used a blend of homegrown apples that I’ve had in my fridge over the season: Empire, Macoun and Pink Lady. Any apples will be excellent in this recipe! It calls for a shortbread crust with oatmeal and a hint of brown sugar. I used caramel candies that I melted down, but I think it would be equally delicious baked just with the apples and then drizzled with caramel sauce. Not everyone in my family likes caramel, so I divided this into an 8×8 pan and a smaller pan and made one version with just apples and no caramels. Next time I might try putting the apples on the bottom and pressing the shortbread crust over top of the apples. This would be a tasty breakfast option that wouldn’t be too sugary!
