Apple picking season is here and if you want a taste of fall in a blondie then my Caramel Apple Bars will be your new favorite sweet treat.

I think fall is my favorite time of year. The heat of the summer is gone and the weather is crisp and sunny. A few months of nice weather before daylight wains and the air turns cold. Another favorite, this time of year, is apple picking at our local u-pick apple farm.

We have been taking the kids to pick apples for years. Last year I posted a recipe for Apple Harvest Mini Breads along with great pictures of Ella enjoying the farm and picking apples.

I think she mostly likes the homemade apple fritters the farm makes, but she also likes being outdoors. This year I decided to make these incredibly moist Caramel Apple Bars.

These bars are the quintessential flavor of fall. Just imagine sitting around the fire-pit with a warm cup of cider while taking a bite of these delicious bars.
