Time 50m

Yield 16 bars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 -5 firm cooking apples

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, making sure the edges extend over the edges of the pan for easy removal. Place prepared pan in the freezer.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the oats and sugar. In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix liquid mixture into the oat mixture.
  • Press half of the dough into the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • Place the remaining dough between two 15-inch lengths of wax paper. Roll out into a 9×13-inch rectangle. Slide a flat cookie sheet under the dough and wax paper and transfer it to the freezer for a few minutes.
  • Peel, quarter and core the apples. Cut each quarter lengthwise into five or six slices. Place the apple slices in rows, each slice slightly overlapping the last, on top of the bottom layer of dough.
  • Remove the rolled-out rectangle from the freezer. Peel off the top piece of paper and turn the dough over the apples. Remove the remaining paper and press down on the edges of the dough to seal it.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan. Lift cake out using the edges of the foil and cut into squares or bars. Maida says that chilling makes the bars easier to cut and also that they freeze well!

I would give these bars a zero if I could.

These bars are the worst thing I've ever tasted.

I'm really disappointed with these bars. They're not at all what I expected.

These bars are a waste of time and ingredients. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out at all. They were a complete disaster.

These bars are really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The apples were a bit too tart and the oat mixture was a bit too dry.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made these bars for my kids and they loved them. They're a healthy snack that's also really tasty.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that need to be used up and these bars are a perfect way to do it.

I'm not a huge fan of apples, but I really enjoyed these bars. They're not too sweet and the oats give them a nice texture.

These bars are the perfect fall treat. They're warm and comforting, with just the right amount of sweetness.

These are delicious! I made them for a potluck and they were a big hit. Everyone loved them.

I love the way these bars turned out! They're so moist and flavorful. I think the key is to use fresh apples. I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the oat mixture, which gave them a nice warm flavor.

These Johnny Appleseed bars are a hit! The combination of apples, oats, and spices is perfect. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.
