Apple Pie Spiced Caramel Shortbread Bars

Need the easiest, most delicious, holiday treat? Or a good treat for any day, for that matter? Look no further! I have been absolutely obsessed with these bars! They have a vanilla shortbread, topped with an apple spiced caramel, and all topped in salted chocolate. I am so, so happy with how these turned out!

They’re not only incredibly easy, but they only require a handful of ingredients, and a few minutes of your time! I hope you enjoy!

shortbread:

1 1/2 cups almond flour

3 tbsp melted coconut oil

2 tbsp maple syrup

½ tsp vanilla & Pinch of sea salt
Combine all crust ingredients & bake @ 350F for 10min. Remove & let cool.

Apple pie spiced caramel:
1 cup pitted dates

1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut butter!)

2 tsp apple pie spice

1/2 tsp vanilla & pinch sea salt
Combine all ingredients in a food processor until it reaches a caramel consistency. Spread over the shortbread layer.

For the chocolate topping:

1 chocolate bar & 1 tsp coconut oil.

Melt together & spread over caramel layer. Place in the freezer to set! Enjoy!
