Servings: persons

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Plus 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour, Divided Use
1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/8 teaspoons Ground All-spice
1/8 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
10 Tablespoons Soy Margarine, Such As Earth Balance (for Vegan Version) Or Sub Unsalted Butter
2 cups Peeled And Diced Firm Apples, Such As Granny Smith
1/2 cups Vegan Caramel Sauce (see My TastyKitchen Recipe Box) Or Other Prepared Caramel Sauce

1
Place rack in center of your oven and preheat oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, all-spice, and nutmeg. Add the vegan margarine in small pieces, then quickly work it in with your fingers, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press 2/3 of the crumbs into the prepared baking dish. Evenly arrange the sliced apples over top.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the caramel sauce and the remaining 3 tablespoons flour. Pour evenly over the top of the apples, then sprinkle with the remaining crumbs.
4
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until top is lightly browned. Remove from oven. Let the bars cool completely before cutting-or serve very messy, very delicious bars immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
