I'd like to preface this by apologizing for this review. I was very disappointed. I followed the recipe verbatim. The chopped apples (I used Granny Smith) were mushy. The flavor was not outstanding. I read such rave reviews, I had to try this. I do not consider myself a gourmet, but would not feel comfortable serving this at a pot luck or bringing it to a church function. The topping was not appealing to the eye, as well. I verified the recipe steps, ingred., measurements, and feel that this review is merited. Sorry...

I didn't change a thing in the recipe. It was great on it's own. I did, however, melt the carmels in the microwave per the instructions on the back of the bag of Kraft's carmels. EASY! Good hot or cold!! This is a 5 star keeper!! Thanks Hot Pam!!

These bars are awsome. I have made them three times and each time they were better than the last. They taste best served chilled with vanilla ice cream.

I'm not sure about the no fuss issue, but these are good. Now, how to get the bottom crust to be as crisp as the top. These are best eaten warm...oooh that top crust/crumbles. If I make this again I'll use caramel sauce as others suggested, I used stale/hard caramels that I had in my pantry from x-mas & melted with some butter flavored shortening, it was somewhat a pain. Thanks Hot Pam.

This bar was very tasty---no spices needed, good flavor. I don't consider it a "no fuss" recipe, tho. I scorched two batches of caramel, trying to melt them as directed. On the third try, I resorted to the microwave on low power, stirring & checking frequently.A double boiler is an option as well.

Oh...my...my...my! These are mighty tasty! I wouldn't call them a cookie, though--more of a "crumble" I'd say. The crust-like part does taste just like an oatmeal cookie, though. We also added chopped pecans for more interesting texture and crunch. Absolutely scrumptious warm with a blob of ice cream. I have never been a fan of cooked apples, but this one is THE exception! Yum...oh YUM! Tooooooo good!

Delicious and moist! Substituted caramel ice cream topping for unwrapped caramels and had no problem getting topping evenly over apples. I heated the topping in the microwave to make the consistency a little thinner which made it easier to pour.

Used caramel ice cream topping instead of melting caramels. Much easier. Tasted great!

Basically an apple crumble kicked up with the carmals. If you love carmal apples you will enjoy this. Also, like a crumble, it would be best served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Very good and quite rich.

These are soooo good! I couldn't wait to take them out of the oven; the smell was wonderful. The texture is good, the flavor is excellent, and they disappear really quickly. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and a half teaspoon of nutmeg to the flour/oat mixture, so it smelled like I had an apple pie backing.

The caramel bars were great! I did not have wrapped caramels, so I just made a simple sauce. They were really yummy. Next time I think I will add more apples though.

These bars were absolutely delicious! I used two different types of apples. One was tart, tangy & crunchy, and the other was sweet. We will definitely make these again! Thanks! cindyleeh

These were quite good, but they do fall apart a bit when you try to cut them while still warm as the recipe suggests. I melted the caramels on the stovetop in a non-stick saucepan with a tablespoon or two of water added and they came out smooth. Rather than try to "spread" the caramel, I just drizzled it over the top of the apples with a spoon and it worked out fine. The prep time for this is quite a bit longer than 15 minutes though....I'd say at least 30 minutes; baking time is accurate. Be sure to use real butter in the crust...it DOES make a big difference in the taste. We liked these better chilled than fresh out of the oven. Quite addicting though...my husband keeps asking for them. Thanks!!

I made these for church and the whole pan disappeared! Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe!! So very yummy! I think that they are best served warm.Just imagine serving vanilla ice cream with this! I used a double boiler to melt my caramels, and it stayed very warm and smooth and poured easily over the mixture. I will most certainly make these again!

Good taste, but too much trouble. I have made these twice & both times have found it impossible to get the caramel evenly placed on top of apples. Ended up with clumps of caramel. If I make again, I may try using chopped unmelted caramels.

Did not meet my expectations. They were OK, but were not worth all the trouble. Prep time was about double (maybe it was just me).

Great bar cookie, but I had trouble with it being so moise that it would not stay in a bar form. Wonder if you could use carmel sundae syrup instead of carmels?
