Paleo Apple Pie Bars

I love baking year round but there’s something special about baking in the fall. It’s extra cozy due to the cooler temperatures out and I love using fresh apples. These apple pie bars are everything you love about apple pie in bar form. A thick shortbread layer is topped with cinnamon apples and then a crumbly topping completes it. These are super easy but super delicious!
