These apple oatmeal bars are for the crunchy leaves and crisp weather of fall. Don’t you start craving oatmeal when you have to rake your lawn?
I do!! Here is my healthy baked oatmeal and my Crockpot oatmeal with old fashioned oats to help with fall cravings.
I have a new flower bed so I was out there with a new rake - trying not to destroy the bed as I scoop up all the leaves. This time of year it is a Sisyphean task but I don’t give up.
These bars are great if you have some apples hanging around in your house. I have been apple picking twice already (a great outdoor activity) and making everything apple.
I love the apple orchard. You can find me under the trees sampling all the different varieties of apples. Just when I think I have my favorite - I change it.
I use the parchment paper so I can easily lift them out of the pan. I have sort of fallen in love with parchment paper. It makes life so easy! I have had much less scrubbing to do since I started using it.
The apple oatmeal bars aren’t really crunchy. They are like a chewy granola bar because of the apples and the egg. I find these a nice change. If you want them to be sweeter, add 1/2 cup of raisins when you add the apples.
Do you make any bars with apples? What do you make?
