“This recipe is a subtle version of apple crisp or oatmeal cookies. This recipe isn't too sweet or too bland. It's great as an after school snack or just something to munch on after dinner. It's super quick!” - by calead910

1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 cups uncooked rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped walnuts

"This is my new favorite bar recipe. I used whole wheat flour, raisins instead of walnuts and doubled the applesauce (unsweetened). So yummy!..." See more"

"We weren't impressed with the Apple Oatmeal cookie bars. Not enough flavor and the pan size is too small. Maybe with chopped apples it would be better!..." See more"
