Gluten Free Apple Pie Bars Recipe
Erin D. | Texanerin BakingScrumptious apple pie bars for fall. Grain free, gluten free, vegan perfection.
For me, early fall is all about apples. I know a lot of people would like to completely skip over apple season and get right to pumpkin but for me, there has to be a transition between light summer baked goods like this gluten free lemon bars recipe and pumpkin. On the first of September, I go on a cinnamon apple rampage. It's all apples, all the time!
These grain-free apple bars are a favorite around here. Instead of having a layer of some cake-like base and a layer of topping, you just have two layers of topping. You and I both know the topping is where the fun is at so why mess around with cake?
So on top of each topping layer, you've got a layer of cinnamon apples. You just dice them, add cinnamon and sugar and that's it. No cooking or peeling or any of that. It's a pretty quick and simple recipe.
Sometimes gluten-free baked goods can have a bit of a funky texture, but these? These grain-free apple bars are incredibly moist, chewy and completely lacking in weirdness! They're a little delicate and seem to hold their shape better when chilled so I recommend keeping them in the refrigerator.
And while you've got the oven on, why not try these cinnamon apple chips? They're significantly cheaper than store-bought and they're also fun to make!
