MAPLE BARS

I don't remember where I got this recipe but it is so good. I get asked to make these and they are always gone fast. You could sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the icing if you wanted. The icing would also be good on a cake.

Tips:

Use a combination of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help the apples to cook evenly.
If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely.
Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
Press the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help to keep the bars from falling apart.
Bake the bars until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
