Ingredients
  

For the Base:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Apple Filling:

2 medium-sized apples (about 2 cups diced)

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

For the Crumble Topping:

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed. Then, add the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

      Make the Apple Filling: In another bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins (if using). Make sure the apples are well coated.

        Combine Layers: Spread the apple filling evenly over the base in the baking dish, making sure the apples are distributed well.

          Prepare the Crumble Topping: For the crumble topping, in a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts (if using), brown sugar, melted coconut oil, and ground cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

            Assemble the Bars: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.

                Cool and Cut: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares or rectangles.

                  Serve: Enjoy your delicious Sweet Apple Crumble Snack Bars as a nutritious snack or dessert!
