16 servings
For the crust and crumble
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup vegan butter, cold and cut into small cubes
For the apple filling
- 3 medium apples (about 1 ½ lb), peeled, cored, and diced into ½-inch pieces
Ingredient noteCooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked apple in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid apple, tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides to use as handles for lifting the bars out later.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon until evenly combined. Add the cold vegan butter cubes and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining — do not overwork it into a smooth dough.
