Instructions

Process dates in a food processor until they form a "dough" like consistency, mine rolled up into a ball.
In a medium sized bowl heat the almond butter and maple syrup in the microwave until warm, about 15-30 seconds. Whisk together along with the water and vanilla until smooth.
Add the oats, dried apples, cinnamon and pinch of salt to the almond butter mixture and stir together with a rubber spatula until combined.
Use your hands to break the date "dough" up into small pieces and disperse it into the mixture. Mix it in with the rubber spatula until combined.
Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper then dump the mixture in. Spread it out into and even layer then use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to firmly press the mixture down into the bottom of the baking dish.
Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes then remove the energy bars from the baking dish and cut into 9 pieces.
Store the bars in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container and separate the bars individually with parchment paper or plastic so they don't stick to each other.
