YUM and double YUM! I just made these bars and they are DELICIOUS. I used 100% whole grain, old fashioned oats because I didn't have the 'quick' kind and it worked just fine. I put a cup of caramel with four spoons of flour and more like four cups of apples and extra pecans. I used a softer apple and cut them into larger chunks. Also, I only added one cup of butter instead of one and a half and put some cinnamon with the nuts and apples. These bars are SO good. I will make them often.

I followed some of the ideas I read in the reviews, & mine turned out great! I cut the butter (in the crust) to 1 cup, & increased the apples to 3 cups. I have made the recipe this way twice. Both times I got rave reviews, & ended up w/ an empty pan. I'll definitely be making this again!
