Apple Toffee Bars With Brown Sugar Recipes

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup butter in a medium, light-colored saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, swirling often, until butter is browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl and set brown butter aside.
• Combine apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pinch of salt in the same saucepan. Place the pan back over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Pour mixture into the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook until mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove pan from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
• Add oats, flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla, baking soda, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the brown butter and mix until well combined. Measure out 1 cup of this mixture and set aside for topping.
• Pour remaining oat mixture into the prepared pan; firmly press into an even layer. Pour apples and sauce over the crust and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with reserved oat mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes, before slicing into 16 bars.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x9 inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• 2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat sugar, cookie mix, egg, butter and cinnamon until fluffy.
• 3. Stir in toffee bits and apples. Press into prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before making the frosting.
• 4. To make the frosting, add butter, milk and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• 5. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Cool slightly and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla.
• 6. Remove foil from the bottom of the cookie bars. Pour frosting over the top of the bars, smoothing out to the edges.
• 7. The top of the frosting will dry quickly. Let set before cutting into bars, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
