Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) apples
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Toss to coat the apples evenly with the spices.
Add the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt to the apple mixture. Stir until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, egg, and honey until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into 12 equal squares or bars.
Store the slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
