Apple season is here and with it all things caramel apple. I am so excited to share these bars with you today. They are hands-down one of my favorite apple recipes to make during the season. There’s all kinds of short-cuts here: apple pie filling, cake mix, and caramels. But that’s kind of what makes this recipe so awesome – it’s just so easy!

These bars are s spin off from my Blackberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars. I kept the oatmeal because I love the texture it adds as well as phenomenal chewiness. That’s a word right?

Also? This is one recipe that’s perfect for little helpers. Bryce mixed up the crumble topping, spread the apple filling, drizzled on the caramel and then finished off the top crumble layer. I supervised 🙂 He could hardly wait for “his” treat to come out of the oven.

The aroma wafting through the house had us both drooling with anticipation.
