Cook's notes

  • Use firm baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper with an overhang to easily lift the bars out once cooled.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, firm edges.

Easy swaps

  • Swap maple syrup for agave nectar or coconut sugar if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free certified rolled oats to make this recipe 100% gluten-free.
  • Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch.
