There are a lot of reasons why these salted caramel apple pie bars are so delicious, but that SAUCE. Put the pan of apple pie bars back in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until your topping is brown and starting to get toasty. Once you’ve given your crust its first bake and have let it cool, you’ll spread the apple pie filling on top of your crust. Stir to coat the apples and let them sit to macerate for a few minutes. While your pie crust is baking, you can begin working on the filling!įor the filling for your apple pie bars, you can use the same bowl you just made your crust in! Slice up your apples and add them to the bowl with your coconut sugar, oat flour, applesauce, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and place in the fridge and cool for 10 minutes.Make sure the crust is the same thickness throughout. Press the crust evenly into your baking dish, slightly bringing the crust up on the sides.Add the water and mix well until a dough forms.Stir in the coconut oil, maple syrup and salt until fully incorporated.Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, including the oat flour, almond meal and flax meal.Preheat the oven to 350☏ and prep an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

Here’s how to make gluten-free pie crust:
Since it’s gluten-free, it’s actually pretty difficult to overwork the dough, so no risk of dense cardboard crusts over here! It’s nutty, buttery and super simple to make. We’re making a gluten-free pie crust with almond and oat flours. The base to these apple pie bars of course starts with a good crust. We’re making a homemade salted date caramel sauce to drizzle on top that is TO DIE FOR. I love the crunch that pecans add to the topping, but if you don’t like them or are allergic, you can leave them out. Just a touch really helps add some warmth and flavor. I recommend unsweetened applesauce since we’re already getting plenty of sweetness from the maple syrup, coconut sugar and dates. You can use any kind you’d like! Honeycrisp are my favorite in this apple pie bar recipe. I love the toasty flavor of coconut sugar, but you could also use brown sugar or granulated sugar. The coconut sugar is going into our apple pie filling. Apples and maple syrup are made for each other! Maple syrup is going into multiple components of these apple pie bars. Since these are vegan apple pie bars, we’re using coconut oil in the crust. Flax meal is a great egg replacement and will help bind the crust together. We’re using almond flour with our oat flour to make a delicious gluten-free pie crust. You can make your own oat flour by throwing some oats into a blender and grinding it into flour! This recipe calls for both old-fashioned rolled oats and oat flour. You’ll use a lot of the ingredients in more than one step, so I promise it’s less ingredients than it looks like! Keeping’ it simple here. I know the ingredient list looks scary long, but I separated them into each step (crust, filling, topping, and caramel sauce). Ingredients for Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars
