Disappearing Caramel Apple Bars

Disappearing Caramel Apple Bars

I have been making these for about 10 years and have had many requests for the recipe. They are easy to make and disappear so quickly, if you don’t grab one you might miss your chance! Serve immediately or refrigerate. Bars cut more easily if refrigerated first.
