Categories: Bars/Brownies

Ingredients

• For the bars
• 1-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 10 ounces cinnamon chips...(Peanut Butter Chips)
• 1 cup chopped apples
• For the frosting
• 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• To make the bars
• Preheat oven to 350

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, salt and baking soda.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined. Mix in vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in cinnamon chips and chopped apple.

4. Scoop the mixture into a 9″ × 13″ baking pan coated with nonstick spray – use an off-set spatula to evenly spread the mixture out. Bake until golden and a toothpick placed in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached, about 25 to 35 minutes. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
