Walnut Free Apricot Coconut Bars

These golden, chewy bars are the kind of treat that disappears fast — layers of buttery cassava crust, jammy spiced apricot filling, and toasted coconut topping all stacked into one irresistible square. The filling is made by simmering dried apricots with honey, lemon juice, and ginger until they break down into a thick, fragrant paste, so every bite has that bright, tangy-sweet depth you just can't get from a jar. The crust comes together with cassava flour, tapioca starch, and solid coconut oil, giving it a tender, slightly crumbly texture that holds up beautifully under the filling without any grains or gluten. Many packaged fruit bars and granola-style treats sneak in tree nuts — often walnuts — in the topping or crust, but every layer here is built entirely from ingredients you can see and control. The shredded coconut topping gets tossed in melted coconut oil and honey before baking, so it turns a gorgeous golden brown and adds a satisfying crunch to contrast the soft filling underneath. They slice cleanly once fully cooled and hold their shape well, making them just as good for a lunchbox as they are for a dessert plate.
