A shortbread crust, tart apples, sweet caramel, and crisp topping combine for these decadent apple crisp bars.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, flour, brown sugar, apple pie spice, and salt until crumbly.

1

Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a lined 9x13-inch pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Set aside.

2

Make the filling: Combine sliced apples, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add flour, brown sugar, and apple pie spice.

3

Make the topping: Mix flour, brown sugar, oats, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt. Work in butter until clumps form.

4

Cut soft caramels into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the baked crust. Add just under half of the topping mixture.

5

Spread apple filling over the mixture in an even layer.

6

Finish with the rest of the topping. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until top is golden and apples are soft.

7

Cool before slicing. If desired, serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.
