How to Make Apple Butterscotch Squares
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup butterscotch chips, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butterscotch chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set aside 1 cup of the oat crumble mixture. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Evenly spread the cooled butterscotch mixture over the pressed oat crumble.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice 3 medium apples (about 3 cups). Arrange apple slices over the butterscotch layer.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon over the apples.
- In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1 cup oat crumble mixture with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup wheat germ. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar oat crumble evenly over the apple layer.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
