Who doesn’t love apple pie? My mom actually makes the best apple pie and unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction cut to no apples for 8 years! Just went to my annual allergy exam and I was okay’d to eat apples. Um!!!!! First thing I thought of was apple pie but I love a bar so here we are. Apple Pie Bars. There are a few steps but nothing we haven’t done before. Let’s do this!

-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
½ cup coconut sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp vanilla
-
½ tsp salt
-
Topping:
-
1 ½ cups gluten free flour

½ tsp salt

Carmel: (optional but just do it!)

Directions
Crust:
Preheat oven 350
Grease and line with parchment paper a 9x13 pan
In a bowl mix together butter and sugars.
Then add your flour and salt.
Press into pan, cover all the edges and then bake for 20 minutes.
Filling:
Meanwhile in another bowl toss together your diced apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt.
Spread your apple mixture over crust once it’s out of the oven. Once it’s all evenly spread…you’re going to add your topping. how do you make your topping?
Topping:
In a bowl mix together all of your ingredients. It may form clumps, this is OK! It’s like a crumble that goes on top.
To be clear, your topping (crumble) should be spread out evenly over your apple mixture. I just use my hands. Get dirty!
Bake for 1 hour and then let cool for 15 minutes.
While it’s cooling let’s make that Carmel!
Carmel:
Combine sugar, butter, milk in saucepan over medium heat, let it come to a boil. 1 -2 minutes
Take off heat and add vanilla, stir in gently.
As the Carmel cool it will thicken and when it does, drizzle that over your apple pie bar, you will be so happy you didn’t make this part optional!
