Apple Pie Larabar Bites

Apple pie in small, bite sized Larabar bites.  Made from dates, nuts and dried fruit, they are so good for you but not only are they healthy, they will stop any craving! They are so delicious!

It’s time I finally share these delicious little bites with you!  You should know I’m a huge fan of Larabars, but I’m an even bigger fan of making them myself.  I almost always keep an airtight container of these delicious little bites in the fridge.  I make all kinds of flavors, but this one was particularly delicious.  I’ve sent it in my kids lunches recently, and since they keep sneaking them out of the fridge I thought it was time to share the recipe with you.  If you’re craving apple pie, these are totally for you 🙂
