1 box 18 oz. yellow cake mix

  • 2. Combine the cake mix, butter or margarine with one egg in a medium size mixing bowl. Blend on high until the mixture is very crumbly. Then press it into prepared baking pan.
  • 3. In a separate bowl pour condensed milk, the other egg, & vanilla extract & beat until mixed together and then fold in chopped pecans & toffee chips or mini chips. Then pour over prepared crust, and spread it evenly on top.
  • 4. Bake in preheated 350 Degree F oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned on top.The center will be a little giggly but will set when cooled. Please allow to cool completely before cutting.
  • 5. Please note: If you use the mini chocolate chips you will have more of a chocolate bar than caramel, because you aren't using the toffee bits. I used what I had, to avoid making a trip to the store, but they were still good.

CARAMEL APPLE PECAN BARS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Caramel Apple Pecan Bars Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box Spice cake mix
1/2 cup (1-stick) butter, softened (I used salted)
1 egg
2 medium Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup coarsely broken pecans
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, Combine the cake mix, butter, and egg. Pour into the baking pan and smooth it out. Peel and chop the apples. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, tossing to combine. Distribute apples over the cake batter. Sprinkle pecans on top of apples. Drizzle the can of condensed milk over the top of everything. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until center is set. Use the parchment paper to remove it from the pan to a wire rack to cool. To serve, cut into squares and drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired. Maybe, even a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Tips:

  • To make the perfect shortbread crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will prevent the crust from becoming tough.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the shortbread crust by hand. Just use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • For a richer caramel, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. You can also add a tablespoon of corn syrup to the caramel mixture to make it even richer and gooier.
  • If you don't have chopped pecans, you can use other nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan.
  • Caramel Pecan Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Caramel Pecan Bars are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with a crowd.
