Nightshade Free Apricot Coconut Bars

These bars are the kind of treat that makes you forget you're working around any dietary restrictions at all — they're genuinely, unapologetically delicious. A tender cassava and tapioca crust gives way to a jammy, spiced apricot filling, all crowned with toasted shredded coconut that turns golden and fragrant in the oven. Every layer is naturally free from tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and the rest of the nightshade family, so there's no swapping or substituting required — the recipe is built that way from the ground up. The warm notes of Ceylon cinnamon and ginger in the filling make the apricot taste almost caramel-like, while the coconut topping adds just enough chew and crunch to keep things interesting. Cassava flour and tapioca starch work together beautifully here, creating a crust that holds its shape when sliced without turning crumbly or dense. Once cooled and cut, these bars are easy to pack up, share, or quietly eat over the kitchen sink before anyone else notices they're done.
