We're pretty sure that this is the reason Johnny Appleseed got into the apple tree planting business--so that you could mix them with caramel and peanuts and make these delicious bars. Make these tasty treats at home with a little help from Duncan Hines and other items found in the baking section of your grocery store.

1 box duncan hinesĀ® apple caramel cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In small sauce pan, melt brown sugar, corn syrup and butter on medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
