Steps

1Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2Add the oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and butter almond flour to a mixing bowl. Use your hands to work the butter into the flour, sugar, and oats until it is well combined and forms a dough like consistency.
3Press 2/3 of the crust mixture into a 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, and set aside.
4In a medium saucepan combine the sliced apples, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cardamom over medium-high heat. Cook the apples for 7-9 minutes until they start to become tender.
5Once the apples are tender, remove them from the heat. Whisk together the lemon juice and cornstarch to make a slurry and then pour that mixture into the apples. Stir until the apple filling has thickened.
6Pour the apple filling over the crust and then use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining topping evenly over the filling.
7Let the bars bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the fruit is bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown.
8While the bars are baking make the icing drizzle my whisking together the almond milk and powdered sugar until smooth.
9Let the bars come to a complete cool. Slice into 16 squares and then drizzle the icing over the bars. Enjoy!
