Notes

SCROLL UP TO THE BLOG POST TO SEE STORAGE TIPS, MEAL PREP, AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECIPE!

SPELT FLOUR: Any flour (for the most part), should work for this recipe if you do not have spelt flour.
CROCKPOT APPLE BUTTER: My Homemade Crockpot Apple Butter is much less sweeter than the ones in the store. But if you do not want to make your own, it is okay to use the store bought one. If you do use the apple butter recipe, you will want to make it ahead of time.
STORAGE: These bars will store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.
