1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
½ tsp salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the apple filling

4 medium apples (about 1 ½ lb), peeled, cored, and diced into ½-inch pieces
3 tbsp light brown sugar
1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp unsalted butter
½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides to use as handles for lifting the bars out later.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and salt. Scatter the cold butter cubes over the dry ingredients and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Drizzle in 1 tsp vanilla extract and toss to distribute.
