I actually made these bars for Linley’s going away party a few weeks ago. She is moving to the Dominican Republic for the next year to work for a nonprofit called DOVE Missions.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×12 (or 9×9) baking pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Begin by making the crust. Place gluten free flour, almond meal, cane sugar, nut butter and butter (cold) in a food processor. Pulse until combined and dough looks like little pearls.
Press dough into the pan evenly and bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let cool for 15 minutes.
Next, make the filling. In a bowl, mix all the filling ingredients well and pour on top of the crust. Use a spatula to spread evenly across the entire pan. Set aside.
Make crumble topping by mixing almond meal, cane sugar, and butter in a small food processor. You’ll want to stop pulsing once the mixture looks like little pearls. Sprinkle topping on top of filling, evenly.
Bake at 350ºF for 35-45 minutes, depending on how deep your pan is, or until the top is golden brown and the filling has set
Place plan in refrigerator and let cool before slicing and serving.
