- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 apples, thinly sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
-
Prepare Baking Pan: Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that it overhangs on the sides for easy removal later.

Combine Crumbs and Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Stir until well combined.
-
Prepare Base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even layer.
-
Layer Apples: Arrange the thinly sliced apples evenly over the crumb base in the baking pan.
-
Melt Butterscotch Chips: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butterscotch chips together with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
-
Pour Butterscotch Mixture: Once melted, pour the butterscotch mixture evenly over the layer of apples in the baking pan.
-
Top with Coconut and Nuts: Sprinkle the flaked coconut and chopped nuts (if using) over the butterscotch layer. Press down lightly to ensure they adhere to the mixture.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the mixture is set.
-
Cool and Cut: Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Once cooled, cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife.
-
Serve: Serve these delicious Apple Butterscotch Squares on a platter, and if desired, accompany them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
