These Gluten-Free Cranberry Apple Crumble Bars are a tasty treat that's great for holiday parties or any time you want a sweet and sour dessert. It's impossible to say no to this delicious mix of juicy apples, tart cranberries, and crunchy oat crumble. Plus, they don't have gluten, so people with dietary restrictions can eat them.

Ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats. 1 cup almond flour. 1/2 cup coconut sugar. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted. 2 cups chopped apples. 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional. Flaky sea salt, for topping.

Instructions: Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up. Put parchment paper around the edges of an 8x8-inch baking dish, leaving some overhang to make it easy to take off. Along with the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt, mix the rolled oats in a large bowl. Add the melted coconut oil and mix it in well. Fill the baking dish with two-thirds of the oat mixture. Spread it out evenly in the bottom to make the crust. Apple chunks, cranberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, arrowroot powder, and vanilla extract should all be mixed together in a different bowl. Spread this mixture out over the crust in a thin layer. Spread out the rest of the oat mixture evenly over the fruit layer. If you want, you can top it with chopped nuts. It should be baked in a hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit bubbles. Take it out of the oven and put a wire rack in the baking dish to cool it all the way down. When the bars are cool, use the extra piece of parchment paper to lift them out of the baking dish. Cut it up into bars or squares. If you want, you can sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving. Have fun!
