Apple PB Granola Bars (gluten free!)

Alright, let's get something straight.  I am not strictly gluten-free, or vegan, or even a vegetarian for that matter! All of my experiences baking health-food treats have been disastrous, because the final product tastes like trash or prison food. HOWEVER, when I do find a good recipe that is simple, tastes good, and is also healthy, I can't help but want to try it out! I can vouch that these things are all of the three previously listed requirements. I found the recipe on Pinterest, and it didn't let me down. I hope someone else gives it a try and enjoys it as much as I have :) Bon appetite!

What you'll need:

• 2 cups of oats
• 1 Medium apple
• 1/4 cup of peanut butter
• 1/2 cup of honey
• 2 eggs (I used egg beater, so 1/2 cup of that)
• 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract      
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step One:
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray a 9x9 glass pan with pam. Set aside.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step Two:
  Chop up the apple into small bits. 

  Add all ingredients, and stir well!
   
  
   
   
   Step Three:
  Put ingredients into the glass pan you set aside earlier. Pat down and smooth over with a spatula or spoon.
  (I didn't have a 9x9 dish, so I used an 8x11 and just didn't spread the mixture out to fill the whole thing!)
  
  
  
   
  Step Four: Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are dark brown. The original recipe said only 20, but mine took longer to cook; however, that could just be the result of a non-fancy college kid stove. 
   
  Walla! Let them cool and enjoy! Just beware of the mess that you'll create, especially the honey that doesn't quite make it into the bowl.... (hehe, whoops!)
