60 minThe name says it all. These bars are irresistible.
A buttery oat base gets baked until golden, then layered with chopped fresh apples and drizzled with butterscotch chips melted into sweetened condensed milk.
Coconut and walnuts get pressed into the top for crunch, and the whole thing bakes until everything melds together into a chewy, gooey, caramelized slab of goodness.
Cut them into bars and try not to eat three before they’ve even cooled.
Chef Tips
- Use firm baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp so they hold their texture and don’t turn to mush
- Press the coconut and walnuts down gently before the second bake so they stick to the butterscotch layer
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting or they’ll crumble apart
- These store well in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, if they last that long
