These apple pie bars are the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell like a fall afternoon, with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and tender sautéed apples layered over a golden almond flour crust. The base comes together with coconut oil, maple syrup, and a single egg — no grains, no refined sugar, just clean, wholesome ingredients that happen to taste incredible. A crumbly coconut-walnut topping gets pressed over the spiced apple filling before the whole pan goes back into the oven, creating that classic streusel-like finish without a speck of flour or butter. Since every component here is naturally plant- and nut-based (aside from the egg), there's zero concern about any poultry products sneaking in through sauces, broths, or processed add-ins. Tapioca starch does double duty — binding the crust and thickening the apple glaze into a glossy, jammy layer that holds together beautifully when you slice the bars. They're sturdy enough to pick up and eat out of hand, but elegant enough to serve on a plate with a little extra drizzle of maple syrup. Whether you're baking for a crowd or just want something satisfying and wholesome to keep in the fridge all week, these bars genuinely deliver.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the melted coconut oil, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and the egg, then stir until a cohesive, slightly crumbly dough forms.
