These bars were a disappointment. The caramel was too hard and the apples were too tart. I won't be making these again.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the caramel mixture.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used Granny Smith apples and they were the perfect tartness for the caramel and nuts. I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the caramel mixture and it gave it a nice warm flavor.

These caramel apple nut bars were a hit with my family! The combination of sweet caramel, tart apples, and crunchy nuts was perfect. I especially loved the gooey caramel layer in the middle. I will definitely be making these again soon.
