Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted or vegan butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for the topping.
- Prepare the Apples: In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Assemble the Bars: Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create a solid base. Layer the apple mixture evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the reserved crumble on top.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apple filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
