Ingredients
FILLING
1 ½
cup
apples
(peeled, cored and thinly sliced)
¼
cup
chopped nuts
(pecans or walnuts)
¼
cup
coconut or brown sugar
1
tablespoon
ground cinnamon
1
teaspoon
vanilla
½
teaspoon
ground nutmeg
(optional)
BASE
2
cups
oats
(quick cooking or old fashioned)
¾
cups
all purpose flour
1
cup
dates
(pureed with water to make a thick paste)
½
cup
butter or coconut oil
(melted)
½
teaspoon
baking soda
1
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" square baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients and set aside for 5-10 minutes to become syrupy.
In a large bowl, mix all base ingredients together with a wooden spoon.
Spread half of the base in the prepared 9" pan. Cover with filling. Crumble the remaining base ingredients over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees until the top is turning light brown, about 25 minutes.
Notes
These are not overly sweet. If you want them slightly sweeter, substitute half of the pureed dates with brown sugar or desired substitute.
