preview

Jump to RecipePrint RecipeThese easy paleo apple pie bars have chewy almond flour crust and gooey apple filling.&nbsp; They're baked in the oven and best served with a dollop of coconut cream or vanilla ice cream. This recipe is paleo, vegan and gluten free!I've decided that bar recipes are definitely up there in my top favorite desserts.You know, Millionaire Bars, Cranberry Crumb Bars, Pumpkin Bars... I prefer them over an actual pie or cookie or cake, because they're so much easier to make.These paleo apple pie bars have an almond flour crust (that tastes just like a pie crust) and a gooey apple filling that holds together well.They can be eaten hot or cold - I actually prefer cold.&nbsp; However, I've definitely been caught stealing a couple bites straight from the pan.&nbsp; These bars are also delicious right out of the fridge (they cut best this way) or even eaten frozen.&nbsp; Yes, that's right - they freeze well!Here's what you need to make these paleo apple pie bars:For the Crust:For the Filling:No substitutions have been tested for this recipe, but if you need the crust to be nut free, tigernut flour would be an appropriate substitute. In addition, tapioca starch can be swapped out for arrowroot starch.I used Criterion apples, which we picked from a nearby apple orchard, however many other apple varieties will work for this recipe. Some suggestions include: Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, and Jonagold.To make these gluten free apple pie bars, first gather the necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.&nbsp; You will make the crust, then the filling and lastly, bake the bars in the oven.First, combine all dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.&nbsp; Then, mix in the wet ingredients.&nbsp; Use a spatula to mix the dough, then knead the dough with your hands.Next, firmly press the dough into a lined 8" x 8" baking pan.&nbsp; Set aside while you make the filling.Next, make the filling.&nbsp; Cut the apples into small pieces (see photo below for reference), removing the core and seeds.&nbsp; There's no need to peel the skin, but you may do so if you wish.Place the apples in a large mixing bowl and coat with coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla. Then add in the tapioca and cinnamon, mixing until well coated.Transfer the apples to a frying pan and cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the apples have softened and the mixture has thickened.&nbsp; Be sure to stir frequently so that the filling does not burn.Pour the apple filling over the crust.&nbsp; Use a spatula to smooth out the filling in an even, level layer.Next, place the bars in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.Lastly, cool the bars to room temperature in the pan.&nbsp; You may serve the bars warm, but they cut better after they've had time to chill.&nbsp; So, I recommend placing the apple bars in the fridge overnight, or for a few hours, cutting and then serving chilled.There's nothing quite like apple pie with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream!&nbsp; Right??Anyway, my favorite Paleo toppings include the following:For this recipe, I topped the apple pie bars with coconut cream and cinnamon. You could even mix in a little maple syrup for a sweeter topping.These bars must be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.&nbsp; They taste great chilled - even eaten straight from the freezer.&nbsp; (Yes, they can be kept in the freezer!!)If freezing these bars, I recommend cutting first.Healthy Applesauce CakePaleo Apple CrispApple Pie with Crumb ToppingPrintThese easy paleo apple pie bars have an almond flour crust and a lightly sweetened apple filling.&nbsp; They're paleo, vegan and gluten free.CrustFillingPreheat oven to 350 degrees F.&nbsp; Line an 8" x 8" glass baking dish with parchment paper.For the Crust: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients for the crust.&nbsp; This includes the almond flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon and salt.&nbsp; Mix, then add in the remaining crust ingredients (coconut oil, maple syrup, water).&nbsp; Mix first with a spatula, then use your hands to combine the dough.Firmly press the crust dough into the baking dish.&nbsp; Set aside.For the Filling:&nbsp;Thinly slice the apples and cut into about ½" pieces (remove the core, but no need to peel the skin).&nbsp;Place the cut apples in a large mixing bowl and combine with the coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla.&nbsp; Then mix in the tapioca starch and cinnamon.Place the apples on a large frying pan and cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.&nbsp; Stir frequently so that the mixture doesn't burn.&nbsp; The apple filling is done when the apples are soft and the mixture has thickened.Pour the apple filling over the crust and smooth out in an even, level layer.Place in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.After baking, remove from oven and cool in pan to room temperature.Bars cut best after sitting a night in the fridge, but can be eaten warm or cold.Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.Keywords: paleo apple pie bars, easy paleo apple pie bars, gluten free apple pie bars, paleo apple recipes, baked apple bars, vegan apple pie bars« Healthy Cinnamon Roll Blondies (Made with Almond Flour)Easy Air Fryer Garlic Plantain Fries »These were really good. I made the crust with almond flour instead of pecan and used honey crisp apples.ReplyMine was a disaster! All the tapioca flour stuck to the bottom of the pan when I cooked the apples- and I didn’t have nearly enough apple filling even though I diced up an extra apple for good measure.ReplySign up for my mailing list to get early access to discounts, new recipes and more!SUBSCRIBE HERECereal is typically anything but healthy... not Lovebird!
