Caramel Apple Cookie Bars
Ingredients
- 1 box Pillsbury Caramel Apple Cookie Mix
- 1 stick (1/2 c.) butter, cut into pieces
- 1 tub Pillsbury Caramel Apple Frosting
- 1-2 apples, depending on size
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts, but pecans or peanuts would be equally delicious.)
Instructions
- Pour cake mix into a large bowl and cut in butter until crumbly. Press into a 13″ x 9″ casserole dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and set in the middle. Cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Spread 3/4 of the frosting on top of the cooled cookie base.
- Cut the apple(s) into very thin slices and arrange in overlapping rows on top of the frosting.
- Scoop remaining frosting into a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds. Carefully pour frosting evenly over the apple slices and then sprinkle on chopped nuts.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving. Enjoy!
Notes
One thing to note about these bars is that they are very sweet, which is a good thing because a little goes a long way. So, this would be a great addition to a Thanksgiving dessert buffet or any other fall parties you throw or attend.
