#3 Friends by Recipe: Apple bars

Hello! Hello! What is your favorite fall fruit? Is it, by any chance, apples?

If it is, then you are in luck! Teenage Health Freak gave me this recipe for Apple Bars.

Good gracious, these are so good! Look no further for a good granola bar recipe to eat on the go, she has given you the perfect snack!

This is what hers look like:

Apple Bars

2 apples shredded (you may leave the skin on or off. I usually just take some off?or these would be like EXTREME fiber bars..ha ha)..and the skin can get a little chewy
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1 tsp. vanilla
3 TBS coconut oil
2 TBS apple sauce
1 cup oats
1/3 c. walnuts chopped
1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 TBS ground flax
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon


Mix all the wet ingredients including the apples in one bowl!! Then the dry in another?.
Combine all ingredients.
Press in a greased pan  (I just rub some more coconut oil on my pan) to make bars..or you can form into cookie balls!! I tried a few like cookie sized and they were yummy!! A little more crunchy!!
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

My Apple Bars:

These were really good! I loved them as a breakfast treat, or an on-the-go snack! I actually substituted brown rice flour for the whole wheat flour to make it gluten-free, and it turned out really well.

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

What is your favorite fall fruit? Is it apples?   I really love apples! Especially when they are dipped in some nut butter Or made into an apple pie!
