I recently made the recipe Grain-Free Cinnamon Swirl Apple Nut Butter Bars. The recipe is from a grain-free dessert cookbook that the blogger Cheeseslave was featuring. Cheeseslave went through GAPs a few years ago to cure her food allergies/sensitivities as well as is a follower of the Weston A. Price way of thinking. She's a great resource for GAPs recipes as well as general real food recipes.
The recipe for the bars is GAPs friendly, with one exception- arrowroot. I simply omitted it. It's a really simple but expensive recipe (I used a whole jar of almond butter), so it's not something I'd make every week. It did make for a nice treat.
The recipe came together fairly well. I found the "dough" to be rather sticky. The one frustration I had was that I could not get the honey to evenly coat the apple chunks. Heating the honey may have helped with that.
Overall, it was easy to do, an easy clean up, and a decent dessert. For my personal taste, there was too much cinnamon. I'd definitely make it again, but with less cinnamon.
