Apple Coconut Slice with Walnut Streusel Topping


This is a quick and easy slice that works well as a dessert or a sweet healthy snack anytime of the day. The beauty of good healthy food that looks wicked..
I haven’t given quantities as I don’t measure as i’m going and because it is up to you as to how big you are going to make it. For 1 or 8!!! just make sure you make enough to fill and top!.:)

Ingredients:
Base:
Kitz Apple Vanilla and Cinnamon bar.

Filling:
Green apple – grated
Lemon juice from a fresh lemon
½ t vanilla – ground vanilla bean preferably but optional
Dark agave, honey or date paste
Sultanas

Streusel topping:
Kitz Apple Cinnamon & agave walnuts
Dried coconut or more grated coconut
Kitz buckies
Drizzle of dark agave or honey.

Preparation:
Base: Slice the Kitz apple vanilla and cinnamon bar in half horizontally to make 2 thin slices. To make a large slice use as many bars are you wish.
Place them side by side onto a plate of into a shallow dish.

Filling: Peel and grate the apple in a bowl, add the freshly grated coconut, the vanilla, enough agave or honey to add a small amount of sweetness, if using dates soak them for about an hour then blend until smooth then add to the coconut and apple. Don’t add too much as you will drown the other flavours. You may even decide that you don’t need to add any more sweetness so just omit it. Then add the sultanas and stir through.
Spoon onto the base and flatten it out evenly right up to the edges of the base.

Topping: Chop the walnuts carefully then mix with the coconut, buckies and agave or honey. Then gently spread over the filling. Give it a drizzle of agave or honey and refrigerate until you wish to devour.. if you can wait!!
Enjoy!!

NOTE:For an alternative base you could process almonds, dates and some vanilla until sticky then press into a dish.. then proceed with the filling.
