I MAKE "apple everything" in fall when the new crop is in, and I was happy to add this delicious recipe to my apple dishes. A lady at church shared it with me. Sometimes I'll top the squares with a cream cheese frosting, especially if I'm having company. -Leona Pecoraro, Ravenden, Arkansas

The caramel layer was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll try using less caramel next time.

These squares are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love that these squares can be made ahead of time. I usually make them the day before I need them and they're always perfect.

I made these squares for my family and they raved about them. They said they were the best apple squares they've ever had.

These squares are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The apples and caramel are a match made in heaven.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, but I still really enjoyed these squares. The caramel layer is so rich and decadent.
