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!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl with a large wooden spoon, mix together all of the base ingredients. Set this aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the apples, sugar and cinnamon.
  • Reserve one cup of the base mixture and set aside.
  • Lightly pat the remaining dough onto the bottom of the loaf pan.
