Make sure you have all your ingredients ready to put on the bars when the crust comes out of the oven. You don’t want it to cool down too much before continuing to bake.

  • Flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.2Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combining brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and some of the chopped nuts.3In another bowl, mix brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and 1 cup of the chopped nuts (keep the other 1/4 C for topping).
  • Dry ingredients added and reserving batter.4Stir in dry ingredients. When well-mixed reserve 1 cup for topping.
  • Batter poured into pan and baking in the oven.5Pour into pan (it may be hard to spread but it will eventually, lol). Bake that for 20 minutes.
  • Caramels melted and combined with milk.6While baking, melt the caramels and milk in the microwave 2-3 mins. Stir carefully after each min (this is also not easy to do but it eventually will get smooth and creamy. Cool that for 5 minutes.
  • Apple slices added to the dish.7When the crust comes out of the oven, drain any juice from the apples. Pour the apples on the crust and spread evenly.
  • Caramel poured over the apples.8Then pour the caramel over the apples staying about 1/2″ away from the edges.
  • Reserved batter dolloped on the caramel.9Then drop teaspoons of the reserved batter over that spreading as well as you can. Sprinkle with reserved chopped pecans.
