Obsessed is an understatement; we’re borderline nuts over this apple-pecan bar that rivals the classic apple crisp. These bars are made with vegan-approved ingredients and are loaded with Granny Smith apples, pecans and cinnamon so every bite is like a taste of fall. Vegan and non-vegans will appreciate, admire and adore this fall dessert—in no particular order.
