INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butteror 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
- Heat oven to 400* F.
- Mix brown sugar, butter and shortening in large bowl.
- Stir in 1 3/4 c flour, the oats, salt and baking soda.
- Reserve 2 c of oat mixture; press remaining mixture in ungreased 13×9x2 inches pan.
- Toss apples and 3 T flour; spread over mixture in pan.
- 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).
- Sprinkle with reserved oat mixture; press lightly.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden, apples are tender, and caramel is set.
- Store covered in refrigerator (if they last that long!).
