Have you ever had a Lara Bar? Well, they are simply amazing! I picked some up at Trader Joe's and if they weren't so expensive, I'd give them to my kids like I would have given them granola bars. The ingredients are very simple, so I decided to google how to make them. No surprise, I found a recipe and it was PERFECT!!!
I can't remember where I found the recipe, but the one for the apple pie flavor is:
1/4C pitted dates (it said Medjool, but I could not find those and just used regular)
1/4C dried apples (yup, busted out the dehydrator and made my own unsweetened apples)
1/3C nuts (1/2 almond, 1/2 walnut)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
In a food chopper or processor put in the dates and apples until paste-like. Then add in the nuts and cinnamon. Mix well. Dump onto some plastic wrap and form. We put our plastic wrap in muffin tins, and pressed the mixture down until firm. Then, just wrapped it up and put in fridge. You MUST try this! It's so great! You can google and find recipes for other flavors too! Let me know if you try any others and how they turn out.
