This is from . Warning: you can't eat just one! I'm generally a healthy eater but polished off several of these delicious beauties before they were even cool. YUMMMMMMM!
Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/4 cup shortening (i used butter flavor crisco)
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 cups coarsely chopped peeled tart apples
3 tablespoons flour
14 ounces chewy caramels
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400* F.
2. Mix brown sugar, butter and shortening in large bowl.
3. Stir in 1 3/4 c flour, the oats, salt and baking soda.
4. Reserve 2 c of oat mixture; press remaining mixture in ungreased 13x9x2 inches pan.
5. Toss apples and 3 T flour; spread over mixture in pan.
6. Heat caramels over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted; pour evenly over apples (don't worry if it's not perfect- caramel will even out during baking).
7. Sprinkle with reserved oat mixture; press lightly.
8. Bake 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden, apples are tender, and caramel is set.
9. Store covered in refrigerator (if they last that long!).
