Description

Apple Pie Bars à la Mode. The perfect, healthy holiday treat. Naturally date-sweetened, vegan, gluten-free, and paleo. No bake and a great snack too!


Ingredients

Scale

Bars

  • 1/2 cup raw pecans
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup dried unsweetened apples (soaked overnight), plus more for garnish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Vanilla Ice “Cream” Topping

  • 3/4 cups raw cashews (see notes)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut cream (from a full-fat can of coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

Bars

  1. Line a small pan or tupperware container with parchment paper.
  2. Add pecans and walnuts to a food processor and blend until finely chopped (but not paste-like).
  3. Add the remaining bar ingredients and pulse until the dates are finely chopped and blended and the mixture begins to stick together. This should take a couple of minutes and you may need to scrape the sides with a spatula occasionally. Spread the mixture evenly in the parchment lined container and place in the freezer until set.

Vanilla Ice “Cream” Topping

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender (see notes) and blend until very creamy. Spread mixture evenly on top of apple pie base and garnish with dried apple slices, if using.
  2. Return to freezer and when set, allow to thaw for a couple of minutes and cut into desired shape. Keep the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Cashews. Simply soak overnight or use the quick soak method above. Discard the soaking liquid before using.

Vanilla Ice “Cream” Topping. The vanilla ice “cream” topping was made in a high-speed blender. This will make more vanilla ice “cream” than you’ll need. This larger amount is usually needed to get the high-speed blender to sufficiently blend until creamy. Use the remaining on pancakes, as a dip for fruit, stir into oatmeal, or spread on toast.
