Instructions
Filling:
Start by preparing the filling. Combine the blueberries with sugar and orange juice in a saucepan. Cook at medium heat and bring to a boil. Let mixture boil for 1 minutes, then whisk for 1 minute. Stir the cornstarch together with 4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add cornstarch mix to blueberries, stir and simmer on low for 3-4 minutes until mixture thickens. Take off heat, transfer to a bowl and let cool in the fridge while preparing crust.
Crust and Crumble Topping:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Combine flours, oats, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add melted coconut oil and mix until crumbly. Evenly spread and press ⅔ of the mixture tightly into the prepared pan. Bake for 5-8 minutes.
Remove crust from oven and spread cooled blueberry filling on top. Place apple slices on top of the blueberry filling (see picture). Spread remaining crumble over top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until slightly browned. Let the bars cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to cool fully (about 3 hours). Bars won't cut unless they have been chilled.
