These Apple Oatmeal Bars are ideal for the crunchy leaves and cool fall weather. Don’t you crave oatmeal when you have to rake the lawn?
Yeah!! Here’s my Healthy Baked Oatmeal and 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 while I pick up all the leaves. This time of year is a Sisyphean task but I’m not giving up.
These bars are great if you have some apples in your house. I’ve already been apple picking twice (a great outdoor activity) and doing all apple.
I love the apple orchard. You can find me under the trees trying all the different varieties of apples. Just when I think I have my favorite, I change it.
I use parchment paper so I can easily remove them from the pan. I have fallen in love with parchment paper. It makes life so easy! I’ve had to scrub a lot less since I started using it.
The apple oatmeal bars are not very crunchy. They’re like a chewy granola bar thanks to the apples and egg. It seems like a good change to me. If you want them to be sweeter, add 1/2 cup of raisins when you add the apples.
Do you make bars with apples? What are you doing?
