Bourbon caramel apple bars Submitted by: Sylvia Soublet, Director Of ce of Public Affairs and Community Relations
You don’t need to be a baker to make this delicious treat. Get ready to have this become a family favorite and party staple. My family loves anything with caramel and this is one of my many dessert recipes prepared over the years that feature the sticky, gooey, “cling to the roof of your mouth” caramel delight. I apologize in advance for this addiction!
