One of my daughter’s favorite snacks just got a lot cheaper!!
A friend of ours visited us from Australia and fell in love with Apple Larabars; she couldn’t find them back home and asked me to try to come up with a recipe for a similar bar. This one is pretty darn close.
Kat, I hope you like these.
Ingredients:
3/4 cups of dried apples
3/4 cups of pitted dates (about 18)
1/2 cup of raisins (sultanas)
1/2 cup of walnuts
1 1/2 – 2 tsp of ground cinnamon
Preparation:
- In a food processor combine the apples, dates, raisins and cinnamon and blend for a couple of minutes until a ball is formed.
- Add the walnuts and blend until the walnuts are chopped to desired sized.
- Press firmly onto a piece of parchment paper forming a large rectangle about 1/2 inch wide.
- Cool in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
- Cut into desired shape.
Makes about 6-7 bars.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator

This sounds great and reminds me of Christina Pirello’s pie crust recipe that uses a simple combination of dates and almonds. (YUM!) If you are not familiar with her, you should look her up!

It depends on the size you cut the bars into. Here is a pretty useful link to get the nutritional value of the entire recipe and then you can decide how big you want to cut them http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator

Cut into 7 bars, this would be 50 g of sugar and 58 carbs, using this calculator…

Dried apples? Is that the same as apple chips? Like I’d make in my dehydrator/

dried apples are different than apple chips, apple chips are crispy and usually baked, dried apples are soft and made in a dehydrator
