These salted caramel apple crisp bars are the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the season, combining spiced apples, indulgent caramel, and a golden oat crumble into one delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) store-bought caramel sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang for easy lifting later.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in melted butter and stir until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
  3. Press the remaining oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside.
  4. In another bowl, toss the diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Layer the apple mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  5. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the apples. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture on top to form the final layer.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the caramel bubbles slightly.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares or rectangles.

Notes

[‘Choose firm apples like Granny Smith for better texture.’, ‘Don’t skip the parchment paper for easy removal.’, ‘Refrigerate the bars for an hour before cutting for clean slices.’, ‘Adjust the sweetness of the apple filling based on the natural sweetness of the apples.’, ‘Double the caramel for extra gooey bars.’]
