Ingredients

  • 2 small tart apples Granny Smith, thinnly sliced
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil melted, or butter
  • 20 soft caramel candies or 1/2 jar caramel ice cream topping + 1/8 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 8x8-inch baking pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add melted coconut oil and mix to a crumbly texture. Add 1 tablespoon more flour or melted oil if mixture is too wet or too dry. Press 3/4 of the mix into lined baking pan and bake for 7 minutes.
  3. Spread apple slices evenly over crust. Microwave caramel candies ti melt them. Drizzle melted caramel over apple slices. (Alternatively you can combine 1/2 jar caramel ice cream topping with 1/8 flour and pour over apples).
  4. Top with remaining crumbs and sprinkle with coarse sugar to add sparkle. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden-brown.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover and chill thoroughly in the fridge before cutting into squares. Store bars in the fridge.
  6. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, or just as they are.
