Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars

1. Make the shortbread crust. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan.
2. Bake the shortbread crust for 15 minutes.
3. Make the apple pie filling.
4. Make the streusel topping. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
5. Layer the apple pie filling evenly on top of the crust. It will look like there are too many apple slices, so layer them tightly and press them down to fit.
6. Sprinkle on the streusel topping.
7. Bake. These bars take about 30-35 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown.
8. Chill the bars. Allow them to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
9. Cut into bars and drizzle with salted caramel.

I don't normally post such complicated recipes, but this one looks too good to ignore.

You can click here for the specifics of the recipe if you are interested.  I think this is one that lends itself to shortcuts like canned pie filling and salted caramel sauce from a jar. I plan on making it from scratch, next chance I get!

I know my Game Night friends will love it!

Next ingredient:  crescent rolls, refrigerator biscuits or pizza dough.

Chicken Parmesan CRESCENTS

8 chicken tender strips, cooked

1 pkg. CRESCENT ROLLS

4 slices of mozzarella cheese

1 (24 oz) jar spaghetti sauce

1-2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375.  Warm spaghetti sauce.  Separate CRESCENT ROLLS into 8 triangles.  Cut each slice of cheese in half.  Place one piece of cheese on wide end of roll.  Dip each cooked chicken strip in warm spaghetti sauce and place on top of cheese; roll up.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Brush with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder, Italian Seasoning and Parmesan cheese on top.  Bake 15 minutes or until golden. Serve with extra spaghetti sauce on side, if desired.

This is an easy recipe to double.  If you like a lot of cheese, use 8 slices of mozzarella cheese and use one whole slice per serving.

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... ONIONS, any variety

My husband will love that recipe!  There are so few things that he likes, but I can wrap any of them in a crescent roll and he goes bonkers for it, lol! I recently made hot dog and cheese crescents and meatball parm crescents and judging by his reaction you would have thought I'd slaved all day! I will surely be making your chicken parm crescents.

Thank you.

 I just want to report that I made the salted caramel apple pie bars yesterday. I didn't taste them... not my favorite thing and I don't waste calories on things I don't love, but my guests and my DH said they were excellent.
