How to cook deliciously - Oatmeal Cookie Bars
1. Stage
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer), cream the butter, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Then add the flour, oats, salt and baking soda; mix well. If desired, stir in the pecans. Measure and set aside 2 cups of this mixture. Press the remaining mixture into an ungreased 13×9-inch baking pan.
2. Stage
In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the all-purpose flour. Spoon the apples over the crust in an even layer. Editor’s Tip: You’ll need about four large apples for this recipe. For more complex flavors, pick two varieties of apples, like Granny Smith and Pink Lady, and use two apples of each variety.
3. Stage
For our caramel sauce hack, place all the caramel candies in a saucepan with the butter, and melt over low heat. Then simply drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples. Last, top the caramel and apples with the reserved oat mixture.
4. Stage
Bake the bars until they’re lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely to room temperature before cutting into bars.
