caramel apple bars ππ»ππ i made a healthier version of traditional caramel but using dates instead! if you havenβt tried this it tastes pretty similar to caramel in my opinion and has no refined sugars π―
For the caramel: Soak 6 dates, then blend with up to 1/4 cup water, adding slowly, until smooth.
For the bars: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup applesauce, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 3 tablespoons milk, 1 flax egg, 2/3 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons cassava flour, and 1 chopped apple. Pour the mixture into a baking pan. Add the prepared caramel on top. Bake at 350Β°F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (note: the batter will be more wet due to the apples).
