Delicious Caramel Apple Bars

by

A fall favorite with baked apples and gooey caramel. A great rainy day project! Especially warm with vanilla ice cream. I would describe it kind of like apple pie on top of an oatmeal cookie. Be sure to slice your apples thin if you want them tender because it took a little longer in the oven to get mine tender and I thought I had them pretty thin.
