Time 55m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups quick oats
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granny smith apple, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan.
Combind topping and crust ingredients.
Press all but one cup of mixture into pan.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes until crust is set (it will not be brown) and cool.
With a mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl until smooth (note: if your cream cheese just came out of the refrigerator, you can microwave it on the defrost setting for a couple of minutes so that it's a little less difficult to beat with the mixer) Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crust.
Combind apple mixture ingredients in a bowl.
Top cream cheese mixture evenly with apple mixture.
Sprinkle reserved oat mixture evenly over top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool completely.
Cut into bars.

Tips:

Use ripe apples for the best flavor and texture.
Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will make the bars easier to eat and will prevent the skins from becoming tough.
If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand using a box grater.
Be sure to drain the grated apples well before adding them to the batter. This will prevent the bars from becoming too wet.
The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. If it's too thin, add more oats or flour.
Bake the bars until they're golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into pieces. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Apple oat bars are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious treat that the whole family will enjoy.
