Apple Bars
Time: 60 minutes
Serves: 9 squares
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Peel the apples then cut into small cubes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with maple syrup, cinnamon and arrowroot powder to coat. Add the mixture to a small pot over medium-low heat. Cook for about ten minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft, but not mushy. (Add a splash of water if the apples stick to the pot.) Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the base and topping. Add all the base and topping ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the batter holds together (you may want to use your hands to help mix). Transfer half of the batter to a parchment-lined 9″ x 9″ pan. Evenly press into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add the apple filling in an even layer. Add the rest of the batter mixture in an even layer on top. Bake 20–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing into squares. Serve as-is or with a scoop of ice cream. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
