I was going through my recipes for fall and came across this one! This is the best time of year to bake this recipe. Apples are in season and the best tasting now. These are VERY GOOD! If you like caramel apples you must try these!! I will post a photo after I bake them. I prefer to use Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch/Caramel ice cream topping, I think it is the best tasting in this dessert. BUT you use your favorite topping.

How To Make caramel apple bars

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15x10 pan.

    Press half of this mixture into greased pan. Set aside remainder. Bake 8 minutes.
