Certainly not something you can eat without a plate and a fork, as "bar" would suggest, but absolutely yummy.

Super yummy. I think I will use a bit less salt next time and try more caramels. I mixed the crust/topping in my kitchen aid mixer, melted the caramels on med-low then poured over the apples. Baked 25 mins then let them cool for about an hour before cutting then let them sit another 30 mins before removing from pan. I would let them sit longer to set but they held together just enough that we could eat them as bars w/o needing a utensil.

These bars were delicious!! I baked the bottom crust first for about 12 mins and that helped keep the bars together. I also added cinnamon to the apples like other reviewers had suggested which was a nice touch :) The caramels were a little tricky but I put them in a saucepan on low heat with a little water(since I didnt have milk) and kept stirring so they wouldnt stick, then drizzled it on the apples. The only thing I would change is probably eliminating the salt all together. I could kind of taste it in the bars and it just wasnt my preference. Overall, the bars turned out great and I'd definitely make them again :)

These are divine. They are somewhat crumbly, but we just ate them with forks. Warm them in the microwave for extra scrumptiousness. Mmmm!

These were very tasty but mine came out very soft and mooshy so they were hard to eat with our fingers. I used a fork. :)

Awesome!! Definitely worth the trouble of peeling and chopping! I had to add a little milk to the caramels so that they would melt smoothly, but maybe it was because of the brand I used.

Delicious and pretty easy to make. I melted the caramels in the microwave. I heated them for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring in between and watching to make sure they didn't burn.

Followed recipe, using old-fashioned oats (what I had on hand)...tossed apples with generous amount of cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg. Prebaked the bottom crust for several minutes. Used 1 package Krafts caramel bits melted in microwave with 1-2 T. milk. Drizzled over the apples without a problem. Added toasted pecans to the top layer. After the pan was out of the oven for awhile, I started to make cuts, and once it was room-temp. I had no trouble cutting into bars. Served with vanilla ice cream and extra sprinkle of cinnamon. All in all yum! May want a bit more caramel next time for extra decadence...
