For best results, use cold butter when making the crust and streusel. This will help create a more tender and crumbly texture. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Gala or Fuji, to find your favorite combination of sweetness and tartness. If you don't have walnuts or pecans on hand, you can substitute other nuts like almonds or hazelnuts, or simply leave them out. These squares can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving for the best taste and texture.

StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. (5 minutes)
02
StepCut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (10 minutes)
03
StepReserve 1 3/4 cups of the crumb mixture for the streusel topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake the crust for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
05
StepWhile the crust is baking, arrange the apple slices evenly over the partially baked crust. (5 minutes)
06
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of the caramel topping until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the apples. (3 minutes)
07
StepAdd the chopped walnuts to the reserved crumb mixture and mix well. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple layer. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the streusel topping is golden brown. (45-50 minutes)
09
