Legume Free Paleo Almond Flour Apple Pie Bars

These bars deliver everything you love about a classic apple pie — warm cinnamon-spiced filling, a golden crust, and a crumbly, textured topping — in a handheld, shareable format. The base is built entirely on almond flour and tapioca starch, so there's not a single legume or bean-based ingredient anywhere in the recipe, which can be surprisingly hard to guarantee with store-bought grain-free baked goods. Coconut oil and maple syrup do the heavy lifting in both the crust and the filling, keeping things naturally sweetened and rich without any of the usual problematic additions. The apple filling gets cooked down in a skillet with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of lemon juice until it's glossy and tender, then layered over a par-baked crust that holds up beautifully when you slice it. The crumble topping — shredded coconut and chopped walnuts folded into the reserved dough — bakes up golden and satisfyingly crunchy against the soft, jammy apples underneath. These bars are the kind of thing you bring to a gathering and watch disappear, no explanation of the ingredients required.
