These Paleo Apple Pie Crumb Bars are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional apple pie. Made with almond flour and coconut oil, they are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free while still delivering all the flavors of classic apple pie.

Ingredients: 2 cups almond flour. 1/4 cup coconut flour. 1/4 cup tapioca flour. 1/2 cup coconut sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted. 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 cup maple syrup.

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 later. Almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, and salt should all be mixed together in a large bowl. Melt the coconut oil and mix it in until the mixture is crumbly. Half of the mixture should be pressed into the bottom of the baking dish to make the crust. Slice the apples and mix them with the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a different bowl. Make sure the apples are well covered. Spread the apple mix out evenly on top of the crust. Press down gently on the apples as you sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture on top. For 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are soft, bake in an oven that has already been heated. Let it cool all the way down before cutting it into bars. Have fun!
