Salted Apple Caramel Crisp Bars



My outdoor tea today is featuring these wonderful bars, and the recipe for them is on the back of the box of cake mix from Pillsbury.  They're like biting into apple crisp, but in bar form.  My sister gave me the glass apple plate awhile ago and I just love them for Fall.  She also gave me the "Autumn" blocks years ago. 


A friend told me about the recipe last Fall and I found the cake mix and icing at Target.   All the icing isn't used in the recipe, but I refrigerated the rest to use on cupcakes when the grands visit.

 
  I'm using a favorite mug for my tea that I found last year.  Apple cider would be so go, too.







Two granny smith apples go into the topping, after the crust is baked for a bit.  I hope you can find this mix and icing.  I seem to have the best luck at Target. 


 I am sharing this with:


 Thank you for your visit!  xo

  1. I will look here for the mix, but I'll bet I will have to send the husband to Target on the road. I would love to try this for a fall finger food.

    I missed the previous post about the chili. I WILL be trying that recipe the next time I make chili or have a hankering for soup, which is often now that fall has started.

  3. Whoever thought to put salt and caramel together was a genius! It seems to be everywhere, and no wonder, it's so good. This gives me an idea -- my family loves my apple crisp. Do you think I could drizzle caramel topping and salt over it? Well, I guess that's a silly question! Of course! Thanks for the inspiration Kitty. Love your apple plate and apple mug.

  8. We don't have a Target within 60 miles, mores the pity. You make such yummy things! Love your apple plate and mug. How nice to still have tea outside. We are in the sunroom now..too chilly out. But a cup of tea is sure nice when we get in from our walk! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

  17. Another yummy dessert from your files. I go to Target when you mention a product but there's no luck here in Canada, I don't know why we can't get the products here.

  19. Dutch Apple Pie Bars here I come!!!! they sure do look yummy. the blocks are a nice gesture to add to your table and glass apple plate. Speaking of apples, in season Im in Ontario from PEI and I can't believe the price of apples, road side, markets or u-pick, expensive wow
