How To Make candied apple cinnamon granola bars

1
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit down into your bread pan, leaving the ends hanging out to help you remove your bars and to make clean up easier. Place applesauce, ½ cup erythritol (or sweetener), & olive oil to a small saucepan, and melt over medium low heat. Once melted and bubbly, stir for 1 minute, timed.

2
Remove from heat. Stir in oats, apples, and drop of flavoring oil. If you've never used the intense candy flavoring oils, start with just a toothpick dipped in the bottle and swirl that in your mix then stir and test out the flavor intensity until you get it just right. Immediately press warm mixture into bread pan, and slice into 8 bars. Cut one line down the middle, then divide each side in half, creating 4 sections. Finally cut each section in half to get 8 bars. Allow bars to cool *completely*, then remove from pan and break apart.
3
Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt sweetener on medium low heat, and quickly whisk in remaining ingredients. Stir for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and drizzle over the granola bars. I like to use a plastic squirt bottle. Once bars are dry and cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
