Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups (210g) apples, peeled, cored, and diced small ((about 2-3 apples) )
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (, softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (152g) toffee bits

Instruction

  • Make sure to dice the apples very small. Place in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Cool 15 minutes and drain well before making bars.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Cream brown sugar and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and flour and mix.
  • Mix in the apples and toffee bits.
  • Press into prepared pan (dough is very wet and sticky, spray your hands with cooking spray to avoid it sticking to your hands). Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center just loses the wet look.
  • Cool bars completely before cutting.
  • Make the caramel: melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture boils. Boil for 1 minute without stirring. Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla and heavy cream. Transfer to a jar to cool.
  • Serve bars with a generous drizzle of caramel. Store bars in a covered container for up to 3 days.
