Ingredients

Apple Pie Oatmeal Bars

  • ½ cup butter, softened (1 stick)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of cardamom
  • Pinch of allspice
  • Pinch of cloves
  • ¾ cup Honeycrisp apples, peeled and finely diced
  • ½ cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 ¼ cup old fashioned oats

Cinnamon Icing

  • 6 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla. Add egg and whisk until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  • In two batches, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl between batches.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and stir in apples, pecans, and oats using a rubber spatula.
  • Grease the mini loaf 8-cavity pan with cooking spray and evenly divide dough until each cavity is a little less than halfway full. Smooth the tops with the rubber spatula.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing by combining powdered sugar, heavy cream, and cinnamon in a small bowl and whisking until smooth.
  • Let bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, generously drizzle icing over the bars.
  • These bars keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days and they taste even better the second day!
