I used a different type of apple than the recipe called for and the bars turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The bars were still delicious!

I was skeptical about making these bars because I'm not a big fan of caramel. But I was pleasantly surprised! The caramel is perfectly balanced with the tart apples and crunchy nuts. I'll definitely be making these again.

These bars are so delicious and easy to make. I love that I can use whatever nuts I have on hand. I've made them with walnuts, pecans, and almonds, and they're all great.
