A brown sugar oat crumble serves as both the crust and topping for these Caramel Apple Crumb Bars. Filled with cinnamon spiced apples and topped with caramel sauce, you’ll love this easy fall dessert.
Servings 9 -12
INGREDIENTS
CRUMB CRUST AND TOPPING:
10 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup good quality caramel sauce plus more for serving (see note)
APPLE FILLING:
3 generous cups peeled, thinly sliced Granny Smith apples (about 2-3 apples)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
RECIPE NOTES
Use good quality, fairly thick caramel sauce. I used Trader Joe’s Fleur de Sel Caramel sauce. Homemade salted caramel sauce would great too. If you can’t find salted caramel sauce, you can use regular caramel sauce. Just lightly sprinkle the top of the bars with a little sea salt to add some balance to all the sweetness.
