For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) to the oat mixture for extra crunch. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg over the apple butter layer adds a warm, spicy note. Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the rolled oats and granulated sugar, stirring to combine. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened and a crumbly dough forms. (10 minutes)
03
StepPress half of the oat mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer. Spread the apple butter evenly over the oat base. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the apple butter, gently pressing down with the back of a spoon to help it adhere. (10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp. (55 minutes)
05
StepLet the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. (60 minutes)
