1 Smitten apple, sliced

2 3/4 cups rolled oats

1 3/4 cups flour

1 1/4 cups brown sugar

¼ tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 1/4 cups butter

Optional:

Caramel Sauce – to drizzle

1 - Preheat oven at 350°F.

2 - Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well combined. Fold in butter and continue to process until a crumbly texture is achieved. Set aside a quarter of the dough for later use.

3 - Press the remaining dough into the bottom of an oven pan lined with baking paper. Thickness should be around 1 inch.

4 - Bake for 15 minutes. Arrange apple slices and crumble the remaining dough on top. Bake for 10 more minutes or until golden brown.

5 - Cut into individual bars or squares. Place in a jar or a storage container. Store for 1-2 days at room temperature and for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
