Apple & Oat Crumb Bars

Recipe #35198 | 40 min | 10 min prep | 24 bars (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Ocean~Ivy

This is very easy and a very nice treat if your not in the mood for a chocolate type of bar. Kind of like an apple cobbler bar.

    Wow, my husband really loves these! I had been looking for something to make him to take in his lunches instead of buying nutri-grain bars, and he absolutely loves these! Thank you so much for a great recipe.

    Really, really good! I used 3 100ml applesauce fruit cups and cut the "bars" into triangles. I also trimmed down the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon and added 1/8 teaspoon allspice. Baked them at 350 not 375 - 15 minutes for the base and about 30 minutes with the topping. Wonderful apple crumble flavour and chewy texture. Thanks for a great little gem of a recipe!

    This recipe was a really pleasant surprise. Such simple ingredients, but excellent flavor and texture! These bars remind me of something between an apple cobbler (as Ocean~Ivy said) and a chewy oatmeal granola bar. I cut the recipe in half and used an 8x8 pan, baking it for slightly less time than stated. I kept the cinnamon and nutmeg amounts the same though (essentially doubling those ingredients) and the spice was perfect to our tastes. Anyone who likes oatmeal and apples will love these. Thank you!
