These Apple 7 Layer Bars start out with a Nilla Wafer crust, which is delicious and works so well with this recipe. Following that, there is white chocolate, Rolos, and apples. They all are so tasty.

Caramel Apple Magic Bars have a big variety of flavors, but I promise they all compliment each other perfectly. If you’re anything like me and love apple season–you would love this recipe. Use up any extra apples you have laying around and with this yummy Apple Bar! 

Ingredients Needed

  • Nilla Wafers: The crust is made with these vanilla cookies but you can also make a graham cracker crust.
  • Apples: Any kind works great!
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is the glue that holds the magic bars together.
  • White chocolate chips
  • Rolos: Or whatever other chocolate or caramel candy you’d like.
  • Pecans: Chopped, or use walnuts.

How to make Fall Magic Bars

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9” square pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Process the Nilla Wafers in a food processor until they are a fine crumb. Stir crumbs into melted butter and add salt, stirring with a fork. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Stir sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon together in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Sprinkle apples, Rolos, pecans, and white chocolate chips over hot crust. Pour SCM over the top evenly. Return to oven and bake another 21-24 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Expert Tips

  • You can swap any candy for Rolos, as well as, you can use any chocolate chip variation for the chocolate chips.
  • Try this recipe with a base of graham crackers, instead of Nilla Wafers!

FAQs

Can you freeze magic bars?

Yes you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to a month!

Why are my magic bars falling apart?

There are a few reasons this could be happening. If you cut the bars right after they come out of the oven–they are still too hot. Otherwise it may be because the first layer wasn’t pressed down enough into the pan.

Do apple magic bars need to be refrigerated?

They don’t need to be, but you can keep them fresh. Make sure they are stored in an airtight container.
