Raw Apple Cranberry Bars

These were wonderful! Mmmm....Okay, I started with the pulp from my raw apple juice, threw that in the food processor with some cranberries, almond meal, a little raw sugar, and some cinnamon. (I probably would have used raw honey or agave nectar, but I was out.)

After blending, I put that in a bowl with some chopped up walnuts, mixed it all together, and spread it out in a 9 x 13 glass pan. I ran some more walnuts and raw sugar together in the food processor, and spread this on top of the mixture for a crumb topping. Then I let it set up a bit overnight in the fridge. This also gives it a chance to let the flavors mingle.

The next morning, I cut the bars into serving sizes and carefully placed the bars on the racks of my dehydrator. I let them dehydrate throughout the day and enjoyed warm apple cranberry bars that evening. The bars kept well throughout the week, and they were a great on-the-go raw snack.

Yum! One of the best things about fall is fresh apples! And one of the ways I love apples best is just the whole, raw apple juice--no refined, pasteurized stuff. Mmmm! The flavor is awesome!

Reported health benefits from apples include improved kidney and liver function, help with arthritis and rheumatism, improved cholesterol levels, and improvement in brain function and memory, due to increased levels of acetylcholine. And don't worry that you are missing out on the fiber--You will still get a fair amount of fiber in the juice. For even more fiber, use the pulp in my next suggested snack--raw apple cranberry bars.
