Description
Delicious bars combining sweet apples, buttery crumble, and rich salted caramel sauce, perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (about 3 medium)
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Add flour and stir until the mixture is crumbly. Press about two-thirds of this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread the apple mixture over the crust in the pan.
- Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the apples. Crumble the remaining flour mixture on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
