Makes 36 bars

 

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Ready in: 40 Minutes

 

" These bars taste like caramel apples, but without all the fuss! "

 

Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup shortening

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

4 1/2 cups apple - peeled, cored and chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

 

 

Directions

 

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

 

2 In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, butter and shortening

until smooth. Combine 1 3/4 cups flour, oats, baking soda and salt; stir

into the creamed mixture until well blended. Set aside 2 cups of this

mixture. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13

inch baking pan.

 

3 In a medium bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, then toss them with the 3

tablespoons of flour. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the prepared

crust. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt caramels, stirring

frequently until smooth. Pour the melted caramels evenly over the apples.

Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top of the apple layer. Press

down lightly.

 

4 Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is golden

brown and the apples are tender. Cut while slightly warm and refrigerate any

leftover bars.

Chris,

This definitely sounds like a good one for us old foogies. Got the

sprays, they are fantastic. Love the Lemon/Lime Twist and Summer

Spritz - great mood elevators. The Vanilla Fruity Flora and Vanilla

Woods are interesting. Both have a nice airy smell - not heavy or

over-powering. I have always enjoyed the fragrance of vanilla. I

think my favorite of the two Vanilla Spritz (if I had to make a

choice) would be the Vanilla Fruity Flora. It is a bit more

uplifting to the spirit which is something I seem to need right now.

How about a Vanilla Cinnamon combo???? In case I don't get a chance

later, Happy upcoming birthday. 29 was a good age for me, I got up

the yarbles to boot out my low-life, drunk, skirt-chasing, unemployed

husband and my kids and I were finally able to start enjoying life.

Have been happy ever since....... Life improves with age (even

though everything on your body seems to fall apart - or should I just

say fall........) Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!

 

The Best To You,

Carol W.
