Another suggestion for the person who was concerned about the expense. Out on the West Coast we have a supermarket chain called Winco. They have great prices on just about any flour, cereal, or dehydrated fruit you could sell from a bin. If you live in CA, WA, NV, OR or ID you might have one nearby.

I made this recipe today for the first time. The bars are excellent. I followed the recipe exactly and had no problem at all with the bars crumbling when I sliced them. My husband sampled one and said they are as good as his favorite granola commercially available bar which is the "Seattle's Favorite Granola Nut Bar". I will definitely be making these again. We dry our own apples every fall and I had some left so I was able to use our own apples.

looks delicious, can't wait to make. however, can I leave the coconut out? I'm allergic.

Where is the sugar content noted?

Great recipe !! I might suggest if you feel the ingredients are pricey, that you find a Sprouts store or other health oriented store that sells these items in bulk. then you can buy only what you need and have a large selection of items to add .
