Gluten free, oil free and refined sugar free! A healthier snack option that you are going to love! Glaze or no glaze!
Ingredients
For the Raw Apple Pie Bars
- 1 cup Shredded Apple
- 1½ cups Sliced Almonds
- 1¼ cups Rolled Oats
- 10 Medjool Dates (approx 1 cup)
- ⅓ cup Cocoa Butter melted *see notes
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
For the Yogurt Glaze
- ¼ cup Plain Vegan Yogurt (60g)
- 1 Tbs Allulose *see notes (12g)
- 2 Tbs Cocoa Butter Melted (30ml)
Instructions
- First prepare a 9" x 9" cake pan with parchment paper so it overhangs on the sides.
- Next peel & core your apples then shred them
- Add all the other ingredients (except the apples & the glaze ingredients) to the work bowl of a food processor & process everything to a coarse chunky consistency
- Add the melted cocoa butter & process until it all binds together, then add the apples last & pulse just to combine
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan & refrigerate until it is cold enough to remove from the pan without breaking
- Transfer it to a cutting board & cut into equal portions
- Meanwhile for the optional glaze: Combine the room temperature yogurt with the sweetener of your choice & the melted cocoa butter & whisk smooth *if the yogurt is cold it will set the cocoa butter causing chunks
- Spread the yogurt glaze over the bars & refrigerate to set
Notes
For both the actual bar and the yogurt glaze if you don't have cocoa butter you can substitute coconut oil~ Just don't try to pass it off as oil free!
Additionally I used powdered allulose for the sweetener in the yogurt glaze
But you can use any sugar alternative or refined sugar free sweetener like maple or agave Granny Smith apples are my apple of choice but you can use any variety you like the most! Storage Raw apple bars with yogurt glaze must be kept refrigerated and will stay fresh for 10 days
