Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats
  • 1/2 cup Pitted Dates
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon

Apple Topping

  • 3 Medium-Large Apples (I used MacIntosh) Tart is better
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 2 tsp Pyure (or preferred sweetener)

Caramel Drizzle

  • 1 Cup Pitted Dates
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1/4 tsp Caramel Extract (I used Watkins)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F or 190 C
  • Blend the Old-Fashioned Oats, cinnamon, and dates until the dates are in small pieces. Mix in the water with a spoon. Pour into a 8x8 pyrex dish.
  • Peel, and slice the apples very thinly. Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and pyure. Let sit for a little bit for it to create it's own juices. Pour onto the crust.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool.

Making the Caramel Drizzle

  • Soak the dates in the water for about 10 minutes.
  • Blend until it makes a thick liquid.
  • Pour into a small saucepan and add the caramel extract. Cook on medium heat until it's warmed through.
  • Drizzle over your apple bars and enjoy!!
