There’s nothing quite like the scent of warm apple pie baking in the oven, and these apple pie bars certainly don’t disappoint on that front. They’re incredibly delicious, and so easy to make.
How to Make Caramel Apple Pie Bars
Make the caramel: Combine the almond butter, honey, coconut oil and salt.
Create the filling: Cook the apples, water, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and honey over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens and the apples are soft.
Make the dough: Combine the almond flour, cinnamon, coconut flour, salt and baking powder. Add almond butter, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract and mix until a dough forms.
Assemble the bars: Press two-thirds of the dough onto the bottom of a prepared pan. Pour the apple mixture on top. Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the apple mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and set. Let it cool completely, drizzle with caramel sauce, slice, and serve.
Storing and Freezing Instructions:
To Store: You can store your bars in the refrigerator for four to five days. You’ll need to put them in a large, airtight container to keep them from drying out. Make sure to separate the layers with wax or parchment paper to keep them from sticking together if you need to stack the bars.
To Freeze: Caramel apple pie bars also freeze really well. Make sure to put parchment or wax paper between the bar layers to keep them from sticking together and freeze for up to three months. To thaw, simply leave them in the refrigerator overnight.
