Caramel Apple Oat Bars

Caramel Apple Oat Bars

1 3/4 cups of unsifted flour
1 cup of quick cooking oats
1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of cold butter
1 cup of chopped walnuts
20 pieces of caramel candy
1 ? 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 ? 21 ounce can of apple pie filling

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking
soda, and the salt.  Next, cut in the butter until crumbly.  Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture
and press the remainder on the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch baking pan.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Add
the nuts to the remaining crumb mixture.

In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt the caramels with the sweetened condensed milk, stir-
ring until smooth.  Spoon the apple filling over the baked crust and top with the caramel
mixture.  Sprinkle the remaining crumb/nut mixture on top of the caramel mixture and bake for
an additional 20 minutes, or until set.  Allow to cool or serve warm with ice cream.
