Apple Butter Caramel Bars
I use homemade apple butter and caramel in my version, but you can use purchased versions of those ingredients if you prefer.
Servings: 18 bars
Ingredients
- Crust
- ½ cup soft butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 & ½ cup quick oats
- Filling
- 1 cup apple butter
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Generously butter an 8 x8 inch baking pan, preheat oven to 350º
- Beat together the butter and sugar, add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add the flour, oats, salt and baking powder, and beat until completely combined.
- Press ¾ of the crust mixture in the buttered pan.
- Spread the apple butter over the crust.
- Distribute the remaining ¼ of the crust mixture over the apple butter, in small dots.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the entire top is well browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with no unbaked crust sticking – some apple butter may be on there, but there should be no crumbs. Cool and cut into rectangles. Store tightly sealed.
