  • Peel and dice the apples evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite.
  • Use a good quality caramel sauce. This is the star of the show, so don't skimp.
  • Make sure the caramel sauce is hot when you add it to the apples. This will help it to evenly coat the apples.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
