Toasted Oatmeal Apple Breakfast Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the core and thinly slice apples.
• Place apple slices in a large bowl and gently mix in sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and butter. Mix until crumbly.
• Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper and pour ⅔ of the oats mixture in the bottom of the pan, pressing firmly to pack it down to make a crust.
• Pour apples over the crust and spread in an even layer. Pour the remaining oat mixture over the top and spread evenly.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool completely before cutting.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the oats, and toast, tossing and turning oats, until oatmeal is browned and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add 4 cups water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until most of the water has evaporated and the oatmeal is tender, about 30 minutes for the Irish oatmeal and 10 minutes for the old-fashioned rolled oats. Serve hot with the toppings of your choice.
