- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the filling:

- 2 cups peeled and diced apples

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon

For the topping:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use softened butter for the crust and topping to ensure a smooth and even texture.
- Use a food processor to make the crust and topping quickly and easily.
- Be sure to dice the apples into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt for the crust. Pulse until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
3. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
4. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, caramel sauce, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
5. Pour the filling over the baked crust and spread it out evenly.
6. In the same food processor, combine the flour, rolled oats, butter, brown sugar, and salt for the topping. Pulse until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
7. Sprinkle the topping over the filling and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
8. Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving.
