Need something…full of flavour, filling, sweet and soft but with a little crunch? Well wouldn’t you know it! I have the best healthy apple slice recipe for you.
Heat the oven to 190/375 temperature & line a 6inch square baking tin with parchment paper
n a small pan, add the apples, cinnamon, vanilla and cornstarch. Simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes. You want the apples to be cooked through but keep their shape. Stir often to prevent the mixture from burning. The sugars in the apples can cause the mix to boil quickly, so turn the heat down if this happens
Your apple mixture is ready when the sauce has thickened. Take off the heat and leave to one side
Melt the coconut oil gently and mix with the oats and raw sugar. *You can blend ¾ of the oats to create a flour, and then mix that with the unground oats and other ingredients if you want a ‘smoother’ base. I prefer not to do this and keep the oats whole
Spoon ¾ of your oat mix into the baking pan and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Your base should be well compressed into the tin
Pour your apple mixture on top of your base
Sprinkle your remaining oat mixture on top of your apples (don’t compress the top layer of oats)
Bake for 30 minutes until your apple slice bars are a golden brown
