Ingredients
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
½ cup butter, softened
-
¼ cup shortening
-
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
-
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
4 ½ cups apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
To make the crust: Beat brown sugar, butter, and shortening together in a large bowl until smooth. Combine 1 ¾ cups flour, oats, baking soda and salt; stir into 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.
-
Toss apples with lemon juice in a medium bowl, then toss them with 3 tablespoons of flour. Spread apple mixture evenly over prepared crust. Melt caramels in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour melted caramels evenly over apples. Sprinkle reserved oat mixture over top of apples; press down lightly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and apples are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cut while slightly warm and refrigerate any leftover bars.
