Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Filling:

  • 1 cup light sour cream (or full fat)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups shredded apples I used Granny Smith's

Instructions
 

  • For the crust: Beat the butter and brown sugar till creamy. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Press half in a lightly greased 9x13" pan. Bake at 350° for about 8-10 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, prepare the filling: Grate your apples. Mine were small, so I used three. Stir together all ingredients till well combined. Spread over hot crust.
  • Top with remaining oatmeal mixture. Bake an additional 40-49 minutes, or till center is set. Cool, then cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • I peeled my apples, but the original recipe called for leaving the skins on.
  • Leigh Anne used quick oats, but I used regular and thought they were fabulous. So you can use whatever you have.
