Prep Time 8 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 9 large bars

Ingredients
  

Base Layer and Crumble Top

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp butter or coconut oil

Apple Filling

  • 3 cups peeled and diced apple gala is my preference
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch & 2 tbsp water, mixed arrowroot powder works too

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • For the dough, start by blending the oats. I like to do it in the food processor so I can just add the remaining ingredients into the bowl.
  • After you have a fine flour from the oats, add the almond flour, sale, baking powder, and cinnamon. Pulse until combined. Add the wet ingredients for the base & crumb layer. Pulse until a dough forms. Reserve 1/2 cup of the dough for the top layer.
  • In a greased or parchment lined square baking tin(I use a 8x8) press the base layer down. Set aside.
  • For the filling, start by melting the coconut oil or butter in a saucepan. Add the apples and cinnamon. Cook for a few minutes. Stir in the maple syrup and cornstarch mix until the apple filling is nice and thick. Stir through the lemon juice.
  • Spread the apple layer over the base layer, then crumble the reserved dough over the apple. Bake for 30 minutes
