These crunchy bars are reminiscent of apple crisp, quick to put together and portable, how great is that?
Spray an 8 X 8 square pan or line with parchment paper and set aside
Mix together the cereal, crushed apple chips and almonds together and set aside
Melt the butter and almond butter in a 5 or 6 quart pot over medium heat, once melted add the marshmallows, salt and maple syrup and stir until all melted and smooth for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly...don't worry, just when you think it's not going to melt, it will come together as one big brown blob and it will be a bit thick.
Take off heat and add the vanilla and cinnamon, stir until well combined
Add the cereal, crushed apple chips and almonds and mix well until everything is well combined. Work fast...it sets up real quick
Pour into prepared pan using a nonstick sprayed spatula or I sprayed my hands and work quickly pressing the cereal into the pan until leveled using your elbow grease to compact together.
Let cool for a couple of hours before cutting them. Makes 8 large squares or 10 rectangle bars
