Caramel Apple Oatmeal Bars

These Caramel Apple bars are so easy to make, yet beautifully satisfying! A crumbly oat mixture is layered with spiced apples before being baked and drizzled with caramel sauce. All of our favourite Fall flavours in one bar.

 Man, do I have a recipe for you today!!

These are literally like eating a combination of apple pie and apple crumble, but in bar form – meaning you can have this Autumn deliciousness on the go!

Obviously being a baker is pretty cool and you get plenty of perks, like trying what you make…

Whenever I make something, I always get a spoon and just try a corner. Or I’m supposed to. With these, I literally kept going in with my spoon and ended up eating 2 slices worth. :O

And then because they are crumbly I probably ate another slices worth whilst styling them! 😉

I’m normally pretty strict with myself and just allow myself to have a small piece, but I couldn’t stop!

I guess that’s testament to how damn fine these bars are 🙂

These are so simple to make and combine all the best things about Autumn. You don’t need any fancy ingredients either, the main ones are oats, apples and caramel – the only other ingredients are a bit of butter, some sugar, flour and spices – I bet you have all of those things right in your kitchen now!

Now, you can obviously use any apples you like, but I like a nice crisp, tart apple so I used Granny Smiths. To jazz them up I tossed them in some cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and just a tiny amount of flour so I didn’t end up with a big wet mess!

The oat layer is my go-to recipe for oatmeal which holds – butter, flour, oats, vanilla and a mixture of white and light brown sugar. I think with the caramel if I’d have used all brown sugar, these may have been too caramel-y (If that’s even possible?!) – so I used the white sugar to break it up a bit and it worked so well 🙂

If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll probably have seen these Caramel Apple Muffins from last year – they quickly became one of the most popular recipes on this little blog, so I know how much you guys love the caramel apple combination too – It seemed only natural to bring you another recipe combining the two this year.

The apples in these bars get all tender and juicy once baked and the crumbly oats add a sweet, slightly crunchy contrast. Added to this, the sticky, rich caramel and you have one heavenly dessert!

But don’t take my word for it! Go make some ASAP!

Caramel Apple Oatmeal Bars

These Caramel Apple bars are so easy to make, yet beautifully satisfying! A crumbly oat mixture is layered with spiced apples before being baked and drizzled with caramel sauce. All of our favourite Fall flavours in one bar.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • For the filling:
  • 2 cups (220g) fresh apples, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • For the oatmeal:
  • 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, set at room temperature for 10 mins before use
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) caster sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (135g) oats, not quick cook
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/3 cup (100g) Carnation Caramel (heaping cup)
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F and grease and line an 8x8 inch square pan.
  2. Place chopped apples into a medium sized bowl. Place cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and flour into a small bowl and mix together briefly.
  3. Add the spice mix to the apples and toss until the apples are covered, leave to one side.
  4. Make the oat mix: Place butter, sugars, oats and vanilla into a large bowl and rub together until you have a coarse breadcrumb texture - if you have some larger lumps this is fine.
  5. Tip 2/3 of the oat mixture into your lined tin and press into the tin firmly until level.
  6. Sprinkle the apples on top of the oat layer and then add the remaining 1/3 mix of oats on top.
  7. Press the oat mixture until level, having some apples poking through is perfect.
  8. Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes until lightly golden, slightly cracked and the apples are tender when skewered.
  9. Leave to cool in the tin completely before slicing into 9-12 bars.
  10. Place the caramel and milk into a medium bowl and whisk until combined and smooth.
  11. Drizzle or spoon glaze onto cooled bars.
  12. Oatmeal bars will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 3 days (apple may go a little soft).
