Caramel Apple Bars

Name: Caramel Apple Bars
Ingredients: 1/2 c applesauce (I used 1 small/medium apple with the peel on that I blended in the Vita); 1/2 c peanut butter; 1/4 c butter, softened (or margarine); 2 c oats (whole rolled, not quick cook. See this post at the bottom for a discussion on oats & gluten); 1 c brown sugar, packed; 1/2 c white sugar; 1 tbsp cinnamon (reduce/increase to taste, if desired); 1 tbsp vanilla extract; 1 c apples, diced & peeled; 3/4 to 1 c white chocolate chips (use vegan white chocolate chips if desired, or regular dark/semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, etc.); 1/4 c to 1/2 c caramel sauce (I used ice cream topping caramel sauce or use Dark Rum Caramel Sauce. There are many vegan caramel sauce recipes online; google and research them if desired); Optional: Add raisins, dates, dried fruit, nuts, as desired in 1/4 to 1/3 c quantity
