Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 1 cup shredded apples
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup for sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple sauce, honey or maple syrup, and shredded apples. Stir well to integrate all the flavors.
- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. If you're adding nuts, toss them into this mixture now.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Pour the combined mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, let your bars cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice them to your desired size and enjoy!
Notes
Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Don’t overmix to maintain a chewy texture. Store in an airtight container.
