Gluten-Free Flourless No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Apple Pie Bars

If you love apples dipped in peanut butter, you will love these Gluten-Free Vegan Flourless No-Bake Apple Bars that are so easy to make!

Here's what's going on in this clean eating no-bake dessert:

• Layer 1:  The bottom layer is a peanut butter shortbread-type bottom that I slightly altered from my Gluten-Free Vegan Pecan Pie Bars recipe
• Layer 2:  The middle layer is diced medjool dates + apples + spices that I used in my Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Apple Pie Tart recipe
• Layer 3:  The top layer is a thin peanut butter topping sprinkled with organic ground cinnamon

I had bought a big bag of organic Fuji apples to make my Gluten-Free Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Caramel Apples recipe,and since it only needed 4 apples, and my Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Apple Pie Tart recipe only needed 4 apples, I had just enough left to make this dessert.

It takes less than 15 minutes to make because all you do is mix all the ingredients for the base together in a bowl, then transfer to your baking dish.  Next, add all the ingredients for the apple filling to a food processor, then layer it on top of the bottom layer and lastly, add the peanut butter topping.  You can even make this recipe paleo-friendly by substituting the peanut butter with organic almond butter instead.

You'll need to put them in the refrigerator or freezer for just a little bit for them to firm up but they'll be ready to enjoy in no time!
