Step 1

Start by making the crust. In a large bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, baking powder, maple, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Mix them well.

Step 2

Line the bottom of a baking dish with parchment paper and grease it lightly with some coconut oil.

Step 3

Add the crust to the pan, but save about 1/2 of the mixture for the top layer.

Step 4

Use a spatula or your fingers to pat down the crust until you have a tightly packed, even layer.

Step 5

Now it's time to make your filling. Cut and peel the apples, then slice them as thin as you can.

Step 6

To a pan over medium heat, add the apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and vanilla.

Step 7

Cook the apples for 3-4 minutes, then add in the cornstarch.

Step 8

Stir everything together for another minute, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Pour the apple filling on top of the layer of crust. Use a spatula to make sure it's even.

Step 10

Add the remaining half of crust on top of the apples.

Step 11

Bake the bars for 30-35 minutes at 400*F/ 200*C.
