Apple Butter Oatmeal Bars
- Yield: 16-ish bars, depending on how you cut ‘em 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (160g) dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (135g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 12-oz jar Imladris Farm Apple Butter [1]
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line and grease an 8" x 8" metal baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and dark brown sugar until fully combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, and salt.
- Pour dry ingredients into butter mixture. Mix with a spatula until thoroughly combined. (Ditch the spatula and get in there and mix with your hands, if necessary to fully moisten all the dry ingredients.)
- Reserve one-third (about 210g) of the oaty mixture for the topping. Press remaining ⅔ of the oaty mixture (about 425g) into bottom of prepared pan.
- Spread apple butter over oaty bottom, smoothing top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Crumble and sprinkle reserved oaty mixture on top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes. Bars are done when topping is set and light golden brown.
- Transfer pan to wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Once totally cool, remove bars from pan by pulling up on the parchment paper, then cut into squares.
Notes
- This is 1 cup (345g) of apple butter.
