Apple Pie Crumble Protein Bars by Chef Bayan

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, except for apple filling. Mix until you have a wet crumble.
3. Using your hands press ⅔ of the mixture into the bottom of your pan until it's even and relatively flat.
4. Gently spread preserves, leaving ½" around the outside. (The preserves will scald if up against the edge of the pan.)
5. Using your hands, evenly crumble the remaining ⅓ of the mixture over the top of the preserves and lightly press so the crumbles stay in place after baking.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes on a center rack until lightly browned on top.
7. Let cool in pan on top of a cooling rack. Cut and serve!
