Description

Ingredients

• 1⅓ cups organic flour
• 1⅓ cup old fashioned oats
• ¼ cup organic white granulated sugar
• ¼ cup organic brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon Real Salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ cup melted refined coconut oil or butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup pomegranate arils
• 2 medium organic apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• ½ cup organic cane sugar
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed organic lemon juice

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add flour, oats, white sugar, brown sugar, salt and baking soda to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until well combined.
• Once the mixture is well combined, divide in half.
• Press one half into the bottom of an 8x8 square baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
• While thats baking, add the sugar and arrowroot powder to a mixing bowl and mix well.
• Add lemon juice and water and mix well.
• Lay the apples out in the pan and then top with the pomegranate arils.
• Pour the liquid mixture over the apples and pomegranate arils.
• Return the pan to the oven for about 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the pomegranate apple filling. Youll want to crumble it in your hands and sprinkle it gently - dont pack it in too tight.
• Return the pan to the oven for another 30-35 minutes, or the top layer is golden brown.
• If youre serving warm, you can serve right away as a crumble in a bowl topped with vanilla bean ice cream.
• If you want to serve cold, allow the Pomegranate Apple Crumble Bars to cool for an hour before transferring to the fridge. Youll want to let it cool for about 3 hours or overnight. Then remove from the fridge and cut into bars or squares. Theyre great served with ice cream cold too!
