So let’s talk these Apple Cinnamon Oat Bars.
They are SO good! And they don’t actually taste like you’re eating something good for you, even though, they pretty much are. My kids loved grabbing them as a snack and taking them with us on the go. And I am perfectly ok with snacks like this as their choice.
What do these Apple Cinnamon Oat Bars taste like?
They have a hint of apple pie but with a little bit of a cobbler texture. Texture wise they remind me a bit of the cereal bars you can purchase at the store. Even though they look nothing like them.
The flavor is a sweet and pleasant apple with a hint of spice. More spice can be added for even more incredible flavor.
