Butterscotch Apple Oat Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Butterscotch Apple Oat Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and greasing the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, old-fashioned oats, white sugar, and brown sugar.

   Next, take some softened butter and cut it into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, creating a delightful texture.

4. Step 4

   Set aside about 3/4 cup of this crumb mixture for later, then firmly press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of your prepared baking dish to form a sturdy crust.

   Now, spread a generous layer of apple jelly evenly over the crust, adding a sweet and fruity touch.

   In another bowl, mix the reserved crumb mixture with chopped cashews, bringing in a lovely crunch.

   Sprinkle this cashew mixture over the apple jelly layer, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.

   For an extra layer of indulgence, evenly scatter butterscotch chips on top of the cashew mixture, letting their sweetness shine through.

   Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
