These bars were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more butter or oil to the crust next time.

I'm not a fan of caramel, but I really enjoyed these bars. The apple filling was delicious and the crust was flaky and buttery.

I had some trouble getting the crust to come together, but the bars still turned out great. I'll definitely be making them again.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I might try making them again with less sugar next time.
