APPLE COCONUT BARS

These bars were yet another quick fix to my sweet tooth during the 21 Day Sugar Detox.  They're not some award-winning bars, but are super quick and easy to make.  Plus, due to their denseness they are surprisingly filling.  

If you make them and they're not your thing...meh...sorry. When the dessert bug hits you on a 21 DSD, you gotta do whatcha gotta do!

• 6 eggs
• 4 c shredded, granny smith apples (approx. 4 medium)

SERVES 4-8



COMMENTS:  Technically this serves 4, seeing that you can have 1 green apple per day on the 21 Day Sugar Detox. If you can eat 1/4 of a pan, go for it! ;)  Use a smaller pan for a thicker bar.  I chose a larger pan to make these thin so I could create little sandwiches with them and so they weren't as cake like.
