    I was overjoyed when my blogging boos and I decided on apples for this month's round-up theme. Apple-picking has been on my Fall bucket list for some time now. I don't think I'm going to get to it this season, so I'm living out my apple fantasies with these.

    It's the least I could do to display my affection for the season's beloved fruit.

    As if you didn't already know, apples are a nutrient powerhouse. They have oodles of soluble fiber to keep you full and aide in blood sugar control in addition to a potent  antioxidant called quercetin (found mostly in the skin) that's known for boosting endurance and combatting inflammation. Apples for errbody!

    These wholesome, healthy, and delicious gluten-free apple oatmeal bars make the perfect fall treat.

    Next time you go apple picking, pass on pie and make these healthy, scrumptious, vegan, gluten-free apple oatmeal bars instead. With no butter, flour, or refined sugar, they're 100% guaranteed to please both your belly, your sweet tooth, and your waistline.
