Apple Nut Bars

It's a rainy Sunday afternoon here in rural North Carolina as I write these words, and I thought I'd take a few minutes before knocking off for the day to share one of my favorite snack recipes.

If you like apples and/or oatmeal cookies, you're going to jump on this recipe like white on rice!

Awesome Apple-Nut Bars


1 1/2 cup quick rolled oats
3/4 cup dates, chopped
1 tsp grated orange peel
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup apples, raw and shredded

Combine all ingredients. Press together into a flat casserole dish. Let stand 10 minutes. Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes. Slice into little squares and enjoy.

Note: Almonds or other favorite nuts will work well in place of the walnuts. And if you need a high quality coconut oil, I recommend Dr. Ben Kim's Premium Virgin Coconut Oil, which is the only coconut oil we use at our home.

In closing, this recipe for apple nut bars is really easy to make, in addition to being very healthy and delicious.

Give it a try this week and then come back here and post a comment! :)
