Oatmeal Walnut Apple Sour Cream Bars Recipe
These cream apple oatmeal bars are such a unique spin on apple bars! We love using sour cream in baking recipes because it adds such a rich, moist texture to the goodies!
You're going to love sinking your teeth into a luscious blend of apples and the rich, velvety cream filling!
With every bite, you'll be in total apple heaven! Even if you don't like oatmeal cookies, don't worry - these don't taste like oatmeal at all!
We use the oats to create the density and they absorb all of that apple goodness so well!

Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
