1 3/4 c. unsifted flour
1 c. quick-cooking oats
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. butter
1 c. chopped walnuts
20 caramels, unwrapped
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
1 (20 oz.) can apple filling

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking soda and salt; cut butter until crumbly. Reserving 1 1/2 cups crumb mixture, press remainder on bottom of 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes.

Add walnuts to reserved crumb mixture. In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt caramels with sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth. Spoon apple filling over prepared crust; top with caramel mixture, then the reserved crumb mixture. Bake 20 minutes or until set. Serve warm with ice cream. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
